Pros

Pays well and offers good health benefits

Cons

The sales goals are unrealistic and force employees to withstand constant pressure. This also leads to unethical sales practices as they encourage us to be more aggressive when pushing products on customers. We are constantly blamed for our inability to secure a sale when a customer is not interested, employees and customers alike are treated as commodities, nothing more than numbers on a weekly report.

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.
