A Growing Bank with Strong People and an Evolving Operating Model - Anonymous employee Piermont Bank Employee Review

I’ve really enjoyed my experience so far. The team is supportive and approachable, and there’s a strong sense of collaboration across the organization. Leadership is engaged and encourages growth, which has made it a great environment to learn, take on new challenges, and share ideas. There’s also a genuine focus on continuous improvement, which makes the work feel meaningful.

The snack stash disappears faster than expected, so I definitely have to grab something early!

located near Bryant park ....that you will never visit because it is filled with tourists.

Everything about this bank — from leadership to culture to daily operations — is dysfunctional. The organization promotes itself as woman-owned and inclusive, but in practice, I observed no meaningful difference in management style, treatment of employees, or respect for diverse perspectives. The DEI branding feels like window dressing; many roles seem filled based on quotas rather than qualifications, resulting in a noticeable lack of experienced, knowledgeable professionals. The turnover rate is staggering. Interviews are conducted almost daily to fill constant vacancies. It’s common for employees to resign on the spot with no notice, and management treats it as routine — just another one gone. Teamwork is nearly non-existent. Common courtesy like saying "Good morning" has completely disappeared — even from senior leadership. It’s a small office, but you'd think people were working in different time zones with how disconnected they are. This place is chaotic, demoralizing, and devoid of professional development. If you're offered a role here, use it solely as a stepping stone while continuing your job search. There is no growth, no mentorship, and no real leadership — just a performative facade. Advice to Management: Culture starts at the top. Stop hiding behind branding and buzzwords. Invest in people, decency, and qualified talent. Most importantly, learn how to lead — not just manage attrition.
