We love hearing how much people enjoy our time off program, that’s one of our top perks! Thank you for your review and feedback. Commerce is really proud of our tenured employees (some of which have been here 10, 15, 25 years or more!) and we do our best to offer advancement opportunities for all employees- old and new. The growth opportunities are often listed as a top reason people stay at Commerce so we are sad to see that was something that you did not see in your time with us. Career development can be overwhelming and sometimes employees aren’t sure where to start. That’s why we offer development workshops, internal career fairs, and access to Talent Development, who can assist employees in crafting the next steps in their career. Ultimately, career growth is a personal journey and we do our best to give you the tools you need to get in the driver’s seat. Thank you for your time and if you would like to provide more feedback and talk specifics, please email us at jobs@commercebank.com.
