Pros

Plenty of resources, able to fill positions right after staff leaves. Despite being a company that has stock, it seems to have a very family friendly, respectful and caring attitude toward staff. I think I can stay here and be happy in my current position for a good while.

Cons

Not sure if there is a career path here for me. Not sure what if anything I could do to get a 4 or 5 on the 5 point performance scale. Not a lot of input / feedback from my supervisor.

Pros

You get all holidays off and paid.

Cons

This company does not prioritize its employees or its branches only money and sales. New hires receive minimal training and are immediately thrown into work on outdated systems from the 90s, none of which communicate with each other. It creates unnecessary stress and sets employees up to fail. They also do not pay employees for the time spent opening the branch in the morning; pay does not start until all opening procedures are completed. Every other bank pays for this time, and this practice feels both unfair and exploitative. HR can be extremely difficult to deal with. If you end up on their bad side, they may manipulate your schedule or misrepresent your hours. This environment does not feel safe or supportive. Overall, this company allows branches and customers to suffer due to poor management and prioritizing their own interests over basic employee welfare. Based on what I’ve seen, I’m genuinely surprised this bank is still operating the way it does.
