Pros

Nice people, Friendly culture- lots of training and opportunity to get pay bumps, bonuses and promotions just by sticking around and doing your best. Great insurance and benefits.

Cons

During my time at Truist there seemed to be a lot of conflicting information coming down from corporate- so overall it just felt unpredictable. They kept changing metrics which affected our bonuses and performance reviews. When they started giving client surveys more weight everything started going downhill. A branch could get all tens on their surveys but a single survey rating 9 would completely affect the performance metrics. It was very discouraging. They put way too much weight on these surveys that had so many variables. Clients would be rating the branch based on an experience they had with the call center or a decision made that had nothing to do with the actual team members. Many clients were confused by the surveys- causing them to rate low when they meant to rate high. It wouldn't be so bad if the surveys were actually used to improve things rather than to give an excuse to reduce bonuses and payouts to the branch team... it was obvious that's what they were doing. This created a culture of fear- we would be spending more time trying to get our clients to give us a good rating than doing our actual jobs. It's just not a good time when one angry person could affect everyone's quarterly bonus.

Pros

Opportunity to build long-term relationships with physicians and medical professionals to make a meaningful impact by helping them achieve financial security and life goals. Ability to develop expertise in a niche market, creating strong professional differentiation.

Cons

Expect high-performance pressure to meet revenue, asset growth, and client acquisition goals. Long sales cycle, as developing trust with physicians and converting prospects into clients can take months or years. Developing strong relationships requires effective networking, prospecting, and event attendance beyond traditional work hours.

Pros

Pay and good people (whatever is left). Nice amentities.

Cons

Things started going downhill in 2023. New senior leader took over our department and created the most hostile environment I have ever experienced which was motivated unchecked by leaders above them. Too many good leaders left and what is left are the most incompetent and toxic leadership you will ever see. There is a reason the bank isn't doing so good and it's reputation at this point is unsalavageable. Another merger won't save Truist and offshoring jobs to India is an attempt to milk the company until the well runs dry and executives abandon ship with steep payouts.
