Pros

Give me a week and I might think of something...

Cons

If upper management isn't buddy buddy with you, no matter how hard you work, or how good you are at your job, you will NEVER advance. Nobody has a clue what they are doing, no direction from the top, ask a question of two different you will get three different answers. Very understaffed due to the fact they treat people like garbage. Alot of snitching, belittling, sabotaging and backstabbing among co-workers, especially the ones that have been there 10+ years and think they somehow own the place and the rules don't apply to them. Very little practical training. Alot of politically correct/liberal views are forced on staff for whom it might violate their beliefs (don't pressure staff to wearing pink shirts, for example).

Pros

Pros: • Great coworkers who foster a supportive team environment. • Strong commitment to community engagement and involvement. • Attractive annual bonuses and competitive quarterly compensation.

Cons

Cons: • High levels of sales pressure, which can be overwhelming at times. • Concerns about management, particularly after the hiring of former Bank of America leadership; implementation of their sales culture. • Recent changes to branch names (now referred to as Financial Banking Centers) suggest a shift towards Bank of America's practices. • Many branch managers are on performance improvement plans and face pressure to meet 100% of their goals weekly, leading to a stressful work environment. • There are reports of unethical sales practices that may require regulatory attention. Overall: BMO offers a positive work atmosphere with great benefits, but the increasing sales pressure and management issues may raise concerns for potential employees.
