Pros

They offer a variety of different shifts so make sure to choose the one that fits your schedule best because it is hard to change this later on as senority plays a big role in schedule changes.

Cons

There has been a lot of layover the last 2 years. Upper management is always super stressed and disorganized. You are pretty much a line worker so working here you wont have time to take a comfortable bathroom break. The manager will literally follow you to the bathroom and hound you if you are not on the phone talking with a person.

Pros

They actually gave the tax advantage to par time employees... oh yeah and charities. That’s really about it? They want 20 words..

Cons

I wish I wouldn’t have to write a review about this but I have too. They don’t care about their bankers, managers, and full time sales reps. They have part time employees who don’t have “commission” raises to $15 an hour. Which is great for those going to school, doing their job for benefits, and we’ll just doing it because they have nothing better to do. While us bankers, managers and full time sales representatives going out to the streets and events making them the “billions” each quarter and make nothing in return. I’ve been with BMO for years and they only care about the stock holders and the higher management. They claim bankers and managers don’t have sales goals (per Alex) ex woman of the year and was head of retail sales in the US, who had an article saying bankers don’t have sales goals... but when they sent that article to the employees via email they didn’t share that part.. reason being because they do and they are worse than Wells Fargo. They also gave an extra 10% to donations for United way and all of the other charities combined. Which is great but what about the employees who got you there? They would rather give it to the part time employees knowing they will leave in a year or two. Instead of giving to the employees who actually deal with their increasing sales goals, micromanagement, cut to incentive, covering other branches due to all of the cuts to incentives and lack of pay in general. The tellers who are now making $15 and hour are making more than most bankers an hour. They need to re evaluate there “giving” and take away there “charity giving” since that’s what the tax credit is for. Not to just give it to the big charities and get a double tax credit for themselves.
