Pros

Literally nothing is worth it. Every year spent here was a year spent in misery. This job made me want to commit suicide regularly- I wish I was exaggerating

Cons

District managers and supervisors lie and falsify employee records to ensure raises are near impossible and instill fear. Micro managing is the only way people “lead” here. One example: You look at your phone after hours OFF THE CLOCK for 30 seconds to check an emergency text from a loved one? Expect to get a zoomed in photo of it and a write up. Cherry on top? managers are on their phone constantly they just hide in blind spots. Inequitable treatment and enforcement of expectations. They will hire new , inexperienced people in at a higher wage than tenured employees and then write you up if you ask for a raise. Call HR to report an ethics concern? YOU WILL BE RETALIATED AGAINST EVEN IF YOU ARE ANONYMOUS THEY FIND OUT Now that the sanctions from years ago are lifted they are back to the unethical sales practices- employees are encouraged to sign customers up for things they don’t want or consent to- and are incentivized to open fraudulent accounts just to boost the growth numbers !!!! They try to illegally infringe on FMLA protected time and engage in scare tactics to make you fearful of job loss They lay off people who have worked here for DECADES with no notice or assistance: you are just a number here If you do get FMLA, just know managers will discuss protected health information to other employees as a form of gossip. The buildings have been falling apart for YEARS meanwhile the CEO gets a fat bonus every year They love to give write ups (called a check in) but not inform you…. The only notification gets sent to “spam” so you never realize you did something wrong in the first place Come to management with a concern or question? lol they will find a reason to write you up… Morale is horrible, the fees are always going up, grandfathered accounts aren’t honored, and the front line employees are abused by managers 100% Even managers talk about wanting to quit daily due to deplorable work conditions

Pros

Free account with no fees.

Cons

The company is not diverse and there is no room for growth. No matter how hard you yourself in the retail branches, you cannot move up. In fact, obtaining a graduate degree does not provide a career advancement, especially if you are in the retail branches They hire managers that cannot get pass the basic banker role and who rely heavily on the PBs. They use the head tellers who are branch coordinators to manage the staff and allow them to do nothing all day, while you are running up and down with pressure to make huge amount of calls, lobby engage, work as a banker, and also take on responsibilities that the manager should be doing. They like to hire a certain type of employees who fit within the privileged group. If you submit applications and referrals and nothing is approved or open, they tell you that you are not performing at the expected level. They force you to conduct financial reviews and goals on every person that walks in and wants to know the outcome of every call. Everyday, all you can hear them discuss even at huddles are the numbers, surveys, and no understanding of employees well-being. They schedule you 3 weeks back to back to open and close when you have to work a weekend, yet still the managers are allowed to only work a Monday through Friday schedule.

Pros

Yhe amount of PTO is fantastic. Benefits are decent.

Cons

They laid off a great portion of experiences staff. The majority of employees not laid off are mediocre. The long term, experienced employees left say morale is very low. DEI is quietly being rolled back.
