Pros

Company benefits are the best part of the package.

Cons

No advancement unless you know someone. Advancement is not based on skills but who you know.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback with us. We are glad to see that you enjoy the total rewards package offered at Commerce but the rest of your review is troubling. Internal development is a priority for us and if you are seeing limited opportunities, we encourage you to speak with your manager or talent management consultant regarding the next steps in your career. We also have great resources for your growth and development such as Commerce for U Development workshops and career fairs. We greatly appreciate your years of service with us and if you would like to provide more feedback and talk specifics, please email us at jobs@commercebank.com. Thank you!

Pros

There are young people being brought in through programs, and the culture is supposedly changing. Maybe in ten or fifteen years after more management has retired it'll be better.

Cons

The culture isn't truly changing, even though it's talked about a lot. Older management styles, very apparent hierarchy, below average pay, overworking is becoming increasingly common, strict security policies (it's a bank afterall), a weird mixture of purchased software and custom development, many older employees who have only ever worked at the bank and who are resistant to new ideas,

I’ll start with thanking you for your willingness to provide us with feedback. Commerce Bank has been in business for over 150 years and as such a tenured company we know that there are always ways to improve and stay ahead of the competition. We do so by investing in long term plans, being willing to take smart risks, and improving our decision-making process to be more agile. As a bank we can be slower to change than some other kinds of organizations, but this is often due to compliance or regulatory concerns. We encourage you to speak to your manager about your culture concerns in your department or reach out to us directly at jobs@commercebank.com so we can discuss in more detail. We would like to hear more and assist you in the changes you need to be happy and successful in your role. We appreciate your hard work and feedback and thank you being a member of the team!
