Pros

Excellent coworkers and advancement opportunities. I have worked part-time as a utility personal banker for over 3 years while I get my accounting degree at Mizzou. Commerce has always been flexible with my school and personal schedule which lets me keep a good work-life balance. I've always felt like they care about me as an employee and as a person. Also, even though I am going into public accounting after graduation, Commerce invested the time and training to upskill me into being able to source loans, open accounts, and even act as a supervisor. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Commerce paid us an extra 20% in hazard pay. Additionally, in an effort to social distance and hedge against a whole branch getting sick, they split the retail staff into two teams. Each week, the teams alternated between working on site and being "on-call" at home. We were paid normally for the week at home and received the 20% premium when working on site. I was blown away by Commerce's generosity and figured writing a nice Glassdoor review is the least I can do.

Cons

You may see some turnover of coworkers you're close with as they graduate or pursue other opportunities. Although, relative to most banks, Commerce is able to limit their turnover by paying efficiency wages.

Pros

None - the pay was well below what I was used to making.

Cons

You can include that if it’s true, but it’s safest to present it as your personal experience rather than implying a medical conclusion or making broader claims about the company. Here’s a revised version: Commerce Bank was the worst place I’ve ever worked. I came into the role with years of experience, confidence, and a strong work ethic, but I left questioning my abilities in a way I never had before. The management style I experienced was disparaging, overly critical, and unsupportive. Rather than feeling coached or developed, I felt constantly torn down. The work environment became so toxic for me that I ultimately sought therapy to cope with the anxiety I experienced surrounding work. My anxiety became severe enough that my healthcare provider increased my medication. No job should have that kind of impact on someone’s mental well-being. I recognize that others may have different experiences, but mine was one of the most damaging professional experiences of my career. I would encourage prospective employees to carefully evaluate the leadership and management culture before accepting a position, as it can make all the difference. This version clearly states your personal experience (“for me,” “I experienced”) without asserting that the company universally causes those outcomes. That makes the review both compelling and more defensible.
