Great positives, but equally great negatives in the audit department

Pros

A lot of really great people that I'm proud to call coworkers. I really can't stress how great most of the people are here. A generally great culture. The work is pretty straightforward and gives you a great overview of the bank. The Chief Auditor seems to really care about the department. Team building events really help to solidify teams and build relationships which make it incredibly hard to want to leave. The people we audit nice and always willing to help. The benefits are competitive, but oil and gas benefits are much better. 401k match eventually gets good. They match up to 6% (50% for 0-4 years, 100% for 5-10 years, 150% for 10-15 years, and 200% after that). The insurance benefits are great although the premiums could be lower. The vacation of 3 weeks with 4 weeks at VP are great but you just lose them at the end of the year. The sick PTO is ok but should be allowed to be used on things like doctors appointments. Preventative care is a lot more important.

Cons

Some individuals are toxic; nice to your face, but will openly trash you to coworkers and management. It's worse than high school ever was and is embarrassing to even hear. Management plays favorites (usually the toxic ones). They will take the word of some no questions asked even though they're completely misinformed. Despite a new structure, don't expect to get a promotion. Initial promotions were made with the new structure and crickets since. This is an internal audit department and everyone is salaried--why do we have to track our hours? Just set the due date and let the audits work. Starting pay wasn't terrible, but the annual "raise" doesn't keep up with inflation and pay is no longer competitive (no matter what "research" management has done). Salary ranges for currently available positions in other companies are 20-35% higher and we are probably losing out on good people for that reason. No wonder turnover is so high. It's pretty much an open secret that half the department is actively looking for other employment. Management overworks their employees and overschedules audits for the limited number of auditors. Some AICs are micromanagers and think and act like they're managers.
