Pros

Benefits are pretty good, people like the employer match plan for investing in the 401(k). The employees try their best to be friendly and nice on the outside but on the inside most are very dissatisfied with their pay, their management, and their overall job.

Cons

Morale is poor. It it difficult to replicate a fake sense of happiness if the employees are unhappy. Bankers are not properly compensated for the high level of stress and hard work that is required of them. The conversion from M&I has been unnecessarily difficult.

Pros

Pros: • Great coworkers who foster a supportive team environment. • Strong commitment to community engagement and involvement. • Attractive annual bonuses and competitive quarterly compensation.

Cons

Cons: • High levels of sales pressure, which can be overwhelming at times. • Concerns about management, particularly after the hiring of former Bank of America leadership; implementation of their sales culture. • Recent changes to branch names (now referred to as Financial Banking Centers) suggest a shift towards Bank of America's practices. • Many branch managers are on performance improvement plans and face pressure to meet 100% of their goals weekly, leading to a stressful work environment. • There are reports of unethical sales practices that may require regulatory attention. Overall: BMO offers a positive work atmosphere with great benefits, but the increasing sales pressure and management issues may raise concerns for potential employees.
