Atlanta, GA (US)

Current Employee – been working at SunTrust full-time for more than 3 years

ProsGreat work-life balance
Benefits are above average for the industry

ConsNo career path planning - could be stuck in the same position for many years
Annual pay raises are capped at 2% company wide, unless you get a promotion.
Too many cliques with everyone looking out for only their own. Promotions don't seem merit based, but rather on who you know.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at SunTrust full-time for more than 8 years

ProsNoble work by best teammates in our industry, SunTrust has top training and expectations of its teammates. Leading by example is required of every one from top to bottom in order to bring security and Financial freedom to outr communities by 'Lighting the Way to Financial=al Freedom' We do this by consultative conversations and really getting to know our clients, their hopes and dreams, and their everyday needs. WE set ourselves apart by looking at today , tomorrow and their future. Their household and their family.........Their entire life is our concern. We value our clients they are the REASON we are here

ConsTough changes in our company during the past 3 years are difficult to understand at times. As our leaders are working to strengthen our efficiency and prepare us to be the BEST in our industry we have unfortunately lost some great talent along the way. This is at times heart wrenching...but a necessary cycle of business. We have to lead from the front and always remember why we are here and focus on today and not yesterday. Times are tough.....the future is not always clear....but we have a NOBLE WORK TO DO.....

Advice to Senior Managementimprove honest equitable salary reviews for current career teammates....teammates that have been loyal and true deserve to be brought up to current salary standards.....

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at SunTrust full-time for more than 10 years

ProsTeammates that truly care about there clients and want to do their best day after day

ConsSenior leaders have no idea what they are doing , change directions every other day with leadership expectations, need to hold them accountable on their leadership verses the branch teammates that are getting it done.

Advice to Senior ManagementNeed a new leader for retail in Orlando he is not to be trusted , you can read right through him! Cares about nobody but himself ......

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
