Pros

Few more days of vacation time

Cons

The merger to BMO has been a nightmare. They have done multiple acquisitions over the years and you would still think this was their first time. Leading up to legal day 1, HR day 1, etc, they said they were being transparent. I guess if they tell you that over and over again, must be true, right? Absolutely not. Nothing to prepare us for their outdated technology, bottom of the barrel management with high deductible health insurance benefits. Micromanagement is an understatement. Hey BMO, hire competent people and treat them well so you can retain good employees and you won’t have to watch every move. Worst bank I’ve been employed by but need the paycheck just like everyone else.

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.
