Pros

I started with Commerce on a temporary employment contract. I have found that there are ample opportunities to grow your career at Commerce Bank. It seems as if management is eager to promote from within, which helps expand career growth avenues.

Cons

There is not a particular "con" that comes to my mind. Overall, the company has treated me very well. No job is perfect, but I feel valued and encouraged by my team.

Thank you for your review and your feedback. Commerce is dedicated to the success of its employees in their long-term career as well as in their every day jobs, so we are sad to hear you did not receive the training you needed to be successful at your branch. This is not the experience we want our new employees to have when joining Commerce. Our branch training is a combination of classroom teachings, online modules, and on the job training that is designed to bring employees up to speed on our products and services. We will take your feedback under advisement as we continue to fine tune our training and on-board our new employees. Thank you!
