A Company With Great Values, That Cares For Their Employees

Pros

A big enough bank to be able to try new positions, and get promoted. They invest a lot of time and money into training and developing their employees. They also take time to throw events for their employees, like appreciation events. If you are willing to work very hard, being promoted is very easy, and there are a ton of career paths you can take. Commerce definitely has the best benefits than any other company I have worked for.

Cons

I have worked at other banks, and as they are more pushy and strict on sales goals, other banks also have better incentive plans. I saw a lot of my incentive pays at other banks, but did really see incentive pay outs on the retail side at Commerce.

Business Outlook

Pros

Commerce is very supportive of their employees, I received months of training, and still get training/coaching daily. There is several people in my branch that are almost always available to help, and if they are busy there's tons of people I can reach out to for help. I also love my hours, and the paid holidays. It makes it possible to have a personal life as well.

Cons

There has been some changes in processes and products, I wish there was more time spent on teaching these new products/processes.

Thank you for your review and suggestions. Our new training model has received a lot of positive feedback and it’s good to hear that you feel supported and well trained in your role. The paid holidays aren’t bad, either! We will forward your suggestions on changing processes to leadership and thank you for being on the Commerce team!
