      BMO is great company, management ( branch/area) is the problem. Terrible wages!

      Pros

      Good financial systems, up to date technology, good affordable products and bank plans! wonderful customers.

      Cons

      Management at branch/ area level needs more training working with people. They rather take people from outside. They do not care to promote inside staff, to higher positions. Don't expect overtime. Expect to be flexible, working Mon-Sat 9-5/ 8pm. No increase- work on a "referral" basis" sell, sell sell for a year end Bonus, if you do not reach 100% of your target NO bonus. For the amount of responsibilities and work load each day, the wages of a CSR is disgusting. They just want to let you sell, sell and sell, but they call you Customer "Service" Representatives. You are nothing in front line. They treat you like a slave. Expect them, to tell you how to talk to customers, what words and sentences to use. Expect the staff to always complain about working for BMO.

      Pros

      People are old, which means younger employees are much smarter and can easily get away with alot. Overall the people are very nice and share alot of information. Training is also very good as the bank dosen't really expect you to know much, if you do alot that that's great, if you don't no worries they will train you.

      Cons

      I worked there for 3 years. I can honestly say that it all depends on the type of job grade you start at. If you start at a grade 30 there are not many jobs out there for you when you want to move up from within. My suggestion is to ANYONE who is interviewing at BMO is ask them what the job grade is. All the good jobs start at grade 32 and up. If anything starts under that don't take it as it will kill your career. After working there for 3 years I have to pretty much start at the bottom of the IT ladder because thier systems and processes are outdated. Don't fall into the same trap. Go to a smaller company for less money but knowing you will learn more and grow faster. Then come to BMO with good experience, this will ensure you don't get a low job grade to start.

      Pros

      I get time off when I need it. It's a job in this economy.

      Cons

      management seems confused at times on what to do. Way to many managers that nothing seems to get done in a timely fashion.
