Pros

Still have the same team that I had at BOTW

Cons

Micromanaging. This bank was not equipped to handle the loans from BOTW and after being merged for over a year, still isn’t. Very slow processes. Leadership does not care about employees in the field. Raises are low, bonuses are much less than BOTW. Insurance is more expensive with less coverage. BMO is all talk, no action.

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.
