Lipstick on a Pig

Recommend

Pros

• Work/Life Balance • Decent Benefits and 401k

Cons

The majority of executive and senior leadership are basically putting lipstick on a pig. The technology is old with band-aid fixes, legal and compliance rules all, and the amount of retail locations is absurd for 2019. This bank truly believes it is on par with the big banks in terms of technology and other services. They still sing about not taking bailout money during the recession, even though it was over a decade ago, which is probably their single greatest achievement. If you're a "Yes" man/woman and drink the ultra-conservative Commerce kool-aid, you can go far here. Otherwise, if you have ambitions stay away, you'll be the only salmon swimming upstream.

We’re glad that the flexibility and Total Rewards were a pro for you, it’s one of our favorites as well (Paid federal holiday? Yes please!). Commerce Bank is a conservative institution, which is why we have been around for 153 years and counting. Our long-term view enables us to grow steadily and not deviate too far from the plan that works. We are sorry to see that the culture wasn’t a fit for you, but we appreciate your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve and we will take your suggestions under advisement. Thank you! Posted 3/18

Pros

Great work life balance

Cons

No cons. However, Commerce is like a slow steady stable moving train, it will get you there, but a little slower!

Pros

The team works together to drive business forward. I've worked at several different banks throughout my career, but this one treats its employees with respect and has taken a long term view of banking. The corporate culture here is phenomenal, and it is fully backed by leadership all the way up to the top. It's a place where you can build a long term career.

Cons

Compensation is slightly less than average. The opportunity to make up for it in bonuses can bridge the gap. Benefits are more expensive than other places I've worked.
