Commonwealth Bank of Australia Reviews

Pros

Leave benefits relating to Parental and Life leave. 8.30-5pm without further commitments (Most of the time) You can keep doing something till you retire and no one is going to ask you anything,

Cons

Apart from Micro managing u may have to do Unreasonable overtime without notice and getting asked not to input extra time, No work life balance, Favourism and politics, They can move you around different branches as they please, your current manager unlikely to give a positive reference if u apply for other jobs. Only suggest working here if u have no other choice because once u join u will get sucked in for the rest of your life.

Pros

One of the strongest brands in the country, let alone in the finance industry. Great people. Abundant opportunities for those who wish to push themselves and develop their careers. Strong leadership from the top down with a focus on doing what is right.

Cons

Staffing levels are not sufficient to cover leave and vacancies without putting pressure on the remainder of the workforce. Some challenges with developing and retaining talent to ensure that we have continuity in terms of staffing and service proposition into the future, however I do acknowledge that senior leadership are aware and seem to be taking some steps to address this issue.

Pros

Some amazing people across the broader organisation Opportunities outside your direct team to contribute to the community and strategic projects Be at the forefront of issues facing the FS industry and contribute to the solution

Cons

Management prioritisation more often than not comes at the expense of work life balance Inconsistent values expectations when it comes to working hours, output and taking leave Discouraged to have open and challenging conversations with leadership out of fear of impacting bonuses or reputations despite being one Bank
