Pros

My colleagues were nice people

Cons

Too many layoffs due to incompetent management and overloaded work with insufficient compensation. Multiple layoffs have been happening since 2021 with certain departments getting entirely wiped out. These works will be handed over to a team in a different branch. Now, you have to do your work and the other departments work concurrently without even getting properly compensated. There was also a credit training program the company prepared for the credit analysts and loan officers, and I believe everyone had to complete the course. Half of these people were laid off and I am wondering, what was the point of the training then? Now, they are hiring loan officers again in the job posts. Not only that, certain managers are extremely condescending and will try to talk about random bs time to time to rationalize their questionable behaviors to their workers. With so many talented people obviously trying to leave the company left and right, managers will gaslight you to stay and make false promises. Some old Korean ladies who cannot even speak a proper English waste their time gossiping about their coworkers. I genuinely am curious how some senior employees got their title in the first place.
