Working for a company that values their employees as much as their customers is truly satisfying.

Business Outlook

Pros

Your opinions and thoughts are always given consideration. You work with a team of experts who are always available to give you additional training and encouragement. Resources are at the tip of your fingers. The opportunity to grow is tremendous. Direct supervisors and upper level managers are inspirational and knowledgeable. The employees at Associated Bank are a family you have outside your own home.

Cons

Your relationship with your immediate manager really determines if you will be able to grow. All advancement and training courses you are interested in will have to be approved in advance by him or her. By building a strong relationship with your upper management team you will grow quickly. If your relationship with your manager is weak, you will not advance and if so it will be done slowly.

Probably the most awful experience i have ever had working for a company.

Pros

Great at information sharing and really good benefits

Cons

Poor leadership and decision making. Subjective approach to promoting, by that I mean that an underperforming manager or employee can advance if they are liked by a person in a higher position. But a true performer may not get that promotion.
