Pros

- Wellness Program, Gym & Cafe

Cons

-Company lays off over 200 people but then they decides to celebrate their 10 year anniversary with champagne & cake for everyone! Celebrating with events (BBQ's) and posting pictures on social media while people were getting laid-off. - They locked down & controlled the AC to hundreds of employees (in the corporate offices) to save money, many co-workers were uncomfortable & sweating all over. - Leadership/Executives make fun of those who have a "Latin accent" and overlook their skills, years of experience and education. - Co-workers that weren't selected to be apart of the BankUnited 2.0 project are spending months without no work, wasting talent and skills. - Everywhere you go (i.e. gym's locker room, cafe) practically every employee is talking about how unhappy they are working for BankUnited. Morale is low. - They hire talent from the outside instead of promoting talented employees who have been there for years. - They post jobs after they hire and bypass the bank's policy to hire someone from the outside. They think people don't notice but people speak and news gets around. - Lack of communication between departments- Turn over is high, many people have left worrying about their job (including me). - Poor management, they're all lost since the bank is struggling to cut on expenses. - There was "no budget" this year and no money for education, self-development, supplies, etc.
