Company Culture

Top down management, they will give you a change to succeed, but if you don't you are tossed aside quickly

Support from management

Was employee oriented, culture has changed to being numbers driven

Teamwork

Great Co-Workers

Freedom to work independently

Able to do your job as you see fit

Attitude towards older colleagues

When layoffs occur it is strange that ALL of those laid off were over 40, and none were affected under that age. Very telling of the company

Overall compensation for your work

Good salary base in admin positions, line employees were subject to the whims of the local management

Job Security

Retail banking opportunities are shrinking, corporate is the way to go

Handicapped Accessibility

I worked in a building with many departments, very few disabled employees were ever seen

Inclusive / Diverse

Company prides itself on diversity. The only group that seemed to suffer was older workers due to typically higher salaries that they company wanted to shed

Suggestions for improvement

• Recognize that when a strategy doesn't work it usually isn't the line colleagues fault. You are not going to compete with BofA or Wells, pick a niche instead of changing directions every six months

What I like about the company

Company is looking to expand and great co-workers

What I dislike about the company

Ruthless when they see a need to cut. Retail Banking management is cutthroat unless you absolutely toe the line
