Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people. Offer nice tuition reimbursement.

Cons

Negotiate higher salary on first offer. Tenure is heavily prize above all else, which has caused a lot of complacency.

Thanks for sharing! We recently revamped our education assistance program and we are really pleased that you like it. Investing in our employees, old and new, is a top priority for Commerce. We do have a lot of long tenured employees that have a wealth of industry knowledge and professional experience, but our employee demographic is shifting all the time. The Talent Acquisition team is bringing in new people every day and we greatly value the new perspective and new ways of approaching problems that they bring to the table. Thank you for your feedback and we appreciate all your hard work!

Pros

Benefits, vacation, paid leave, sick leave

Cons

6 days a week 30+hours but only considered part time Co workers are catty. Basically like working with high school students. Everyone talks behind everyone's back. Very negative and unprofessional atmosphere.

Pros

Upward mobility ! There are people who get hired and within 3 months are promoted to management . This is great because most people think that you can’t move in banking, well commerce changed that . I love that you can really develop your career here with a great team to support you

Cons

No cons we have recently changed the way we do banking making everyone universal so just because someone is a manager, it doesn’t mean they won’t be on the teller line or opening accounts . Everyone shares the same responsibilities no matter what level they are in the organization.
