Unhappy.

Pros

The other tellers I work with are the best. Very hardworking and caring people. I love the customers that come into our branch.

Cons

Everything else. My branch manager was hired outside of the company (previously worked for keybank) and has been here for 5 months and still doesn’t know what she’s doing. There is always a branch that is robbed at least once every other month. The pay isn’t worth the stress that head tellers and tellers go through. Branch Admin and higher ups do not care about their employees unless they are a branch manager or higher. Tellers are the ones that deal with customers the most and are treated the worst. They are an extremely conservative bank and very judgmental. We are the only bank that still use outdated equipment from the 80s. I’m just simply unhappy and hope to leave this place soon.

Pros

The pros of the company are how quickly people are in and out of the company, you have the opportunity for advancement.

Cons

The structure of the company in how they operate. Some higher ups make their employees feel uncomfortable. You don’t have to like who you work with but you should respect each other because you need each other to work as a team. It’s understood that the bank is founded out of Schenectady and the corporate offices are far away from many branches. But there has to be accommodations for communication and training other than making employees drive 1 1/2 away! Nobody wants to get home after 6pm! There is too much technology now available to us to have a meeting about the number people that used an ATM at each branch! That’s irrelevant.

Pros

It's not a terrible job. I like the people I work with, it's easy, and it could be a good starter job. Many people work here to get experience before moving on to a job that pays better.

Cons

The pay is much less than competing banks in the area, and is the biggest reason people leave--it's not possible to support yourself in upstate NY on a Trustco salary.
