Pros

The pay at BankUnited is far above the norm in my area for a similar position and the branches are nicely styled. C-level management very good at what they do, aside from their ultimate goal.

Cons

Culture is very cutthroat, not cohesive at all, and you are expected to have BU as your first priority, not family. Upper level management is overwhelmed at best, pretty out to space in reality. High stress for sales, low lending approval rates (40% of your goal), poor operational support, nobody knows the proper procedure for anything, to go along with a computer system that is a mash-up of about 10 different vendors all trying to work together. Flavor of the month sales goals based on what the C-level is focusing on to get cashed out and sell the company. The organization structure leaves few positions for upward advancement, but thankfully, if that's your goal, there is a lot of turnover, and you may get lucky. The only way they will direct deposit your paycheck is to a BankUnited account, forcing you to use their services. Watch your time closely if you are hourly. You are not allowed to personalize your work area at all, with the unofficial motto being that it should look like nobody works there. Benefits aside from salary are marginal at best.

Pros

the people there were great, they gave you the flexibility to work from home when necessary, and to work flex hours.

Cons

Communication from senior management was lacking. Benefits were mediocre at best. Projects were given unreasonable timelines and always had to be extended.
