Pros

They accept entry level. So if you’re looking for a new career path, OceanFirst is a great place to start. They also promote from within which is another great pro too.

Cons

Really, it almost always comes down to communication. I know that’s broad and vague. But a lot of issues stem (at least from my position) from upper management delegating responsibilities that, quite frankly, make me really scratch my head. Whether it be something we have to do or something that is taken away. The decisions affect the workflow negatively. Also I was promised 4 weeks training when I was hired. Maybe got 4 days of training in before I took calls by myself. I’ve been in the department for a while now so I got the hang of mostly everything. My direct supervisor complements my work ethic, but that can only go so far.

Pros

Off Sundays.It is a job.

Cons

The back office is STILL working remotely. Meanwhile the branches have worked through the pandemic and get no recognition.Most branches are short staffed and they rarely ever hire anyone to help out the other employees.The back office got a hefty raise and the branch employees only get 3 percent a year. The back office is showed favoritism while the branch employees get treated like second class citizens You get reprimanded for asking questions and talked down to by Retail Managers.

At OceanFirst Bank, all associates are valued and appreciated, and with our open-door policy your regional manager would appreciate the opportunity to connect with you and discuss your concerns. Positions that can perform job duties remotely are eligible for a hybrid work schedule including days working in the office. OceanFirst has made strides in tackling the age-old discussion of back office verses the front line, and we continue to build bridges of mutual understanding, better communications, and opportunities to partner for the best interest of our customers. We agree recognizing a job well done can go a long way to encourage the team. Associate feedback is taken seriously and considered as we continue to make the Bank an even better place to work.
