Pros

Some great people still there.

Cons

BB&T was an awesome bank and had a great culture (hence it's superior valuation prior to merging with SunTrust). Executive management literally sold out thousands of hard working, great people and did it under the guise of being "better together" with SunTrust. I'm not just a disgruntle former successful leader of a large team, I am one of THOUSANDS of people who got the shaft by a company that I had poured myself into for over 16 years. I know there are many former employees at SunTrust who feel the same way. The issue wasn't the idea, it was the execution by executive management. Smartest guy in the room during merger discussions was Bill Rogers (CEO of SunTrust and now of Truist). This is a masterclass in how not to do a merger. BB&T bought SunTrust and yet Suntrust literally runs Truist and all of BB&T.

Pros

To its credit, Truist has great diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. I transitioned in my time at the company and never once felt fear for my job or how my teammates would interact with me. They also know how to find great teammates; I liked almost every single person I got to work directly with (easily over 50 people in my time at the company). Being trans at this company is honestly alright.

Cons

Your workload will only grow and grow over time with no end. During my time here, I was forced from a teller role with very rare, light bankers' complex duties to a "universal banker" role, or half teller/half banker role. I was expected to begin data mining clients during conversations, pushing product when I could, and knowing how to do just about anything in the branch despite already having the most time-crunched role in the building. Every time you meet your goals, the post will be pushed back. Clients expect blistering speed, the top level expects perfect procedural compliance and constant push to meet changing goals, and branch level leadership will nitpick you to death as you just try to make this all work. The demands being made of tellers often conflict with one-another and the whole experience will leave you stressed, burnt out, and exhausted all for pay that really isn't worth the decline of your mental health.

Pros

I had a chance to work with some great people.

Cons

During my time with the company, I was always a top performer in my branch. I spent almost 3 years there. Probably half of that time was without a Branch Leader. One leader literally took credit for work he didn't do, violated some huge HR issues, and was transferred to not one, but two different branches. I asked multiple times for a promotion to Senior Banker (denied each time), and a raise (denied). The fact that I was told performance is a big factor, for decisions on promotions and raises, was a slap in the face as I was always a top producer in my branch even up to my last day, where I locked in a credit card for over 10K, and a HELOC for 55K just a week before, I was responsible for a lot of new business clients, from referrals from other business clients I've helped. Oh did I mention, I know I played a direct role in the branch reaching our quarterly goal twice without a manager. Also, I was constantly called upon to help cover other branches (even had keys to a second branch), yet I wasn't good enough for a raise/promotion. Also, it seems they are making it harder and harder to reach full incentive goals, as they keep adding different reasons to dock incentives, some of which are just outrageous.
