Pros

decent salary for banker, uncapped commission

Cons

I was a personal banker for 2 years. Had five different branch managers during this time. I did very well, especially my second year as a banker. Joined a manager training program which was basically a glorified banker position. Was fired for no reason the last day of my program. I feel like I was terminated to save the company money. They had no opening for branch manager and I was owed a raise once I finished program.

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.
