Pros

There are no pros about this company. Awful place to work.

Cons

High workload, little pay for frontline workers. No bonuses unless you're an officer or in corporate. No way to advance in the company for retail workers. Super high turnover and lack of staff, because there are much better opportunities at better companies. This company has inflated reviews on Glassdoor. They were notified of how employees really feel on this site, and suddenly there are 5 star reviews. They did the same thing when our mobile banking app was launched. Customers gave the app 1 star, yet when management found out there was a huge increase in 5 star ratings. Fix the problem instead of sweeping it under the rug, Bank of the Ozarks. Treat your staff better instead of bragging about your stock prices all the time.

Pros

Good benefits for the customers, above average pay for college students, typical holidays off and bankers hours, the usual

Cons

Our company was bought out by this company, and my location was shortly shut down afterwards and our jobs were lost. The problem wasn't the displacement from our jobs, but the way in which it was handled (which was very distasteful). There was a very strong lack of communication in the short amount of time that we remained after the buyout which made things very confusing and disheartening. It was more being like the redheaded stepchildren of the company instead of the team.

Pros

Coworkers were always friendly and the headquarters building is beautiful.

Cons

The most culture and recognition I received from this company were before my first day and on my first day of employment. The Recruitment team does a great job selling the company, but the ideologies do not match its reality, which isn't necessarily the recruitment team's fault. Pay is mediocre unless you are in upper management. Bonuses and raises are nearly unheard-of. The divide between upper leadership and all other associates is blatantly obvious... No respect and lack of understanding. The amount of time I was disrespected due to my age, gender, or appearance was enough to understand I did not have nor want a future at this company. HR is reactive, not proactive. The HR team is more focused on unnecessary reorganizations, scaling down overtime costs, and de-escalating petty employee issues than creating a culture of inclusion and belonging for their employees.
