Pros

Perfect work and life balance.

Cons

I had the worst manager here and I feel for anyone who has to work for this person again. They made decisions based on their emotions, meaning they would tell me one thing and then later tell me another. I'd get permission to WFH and then my boss would call to literally check up on me, like I'm not an adult, and then freak out when I said I was WFH. Even though I was told... on that specific day.... I could. What??? The pay is laughably, and I mean laughably bad. It's insulting. Not to mention I never had anything to do here - how is that even possible? I was paid to do nothing at this job and it was torture. I was basically the assistant to someone who had such an ego, they felt they needed an assistant, when really my salary was just a waste of money for the company. SO glad I don't work here anymore!!!

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.
