Pros

Hybrid work schedule. Great game room in Malvern office. Free Keurig coffee.

Cons

Leadership has little experience in banking and less understanding of what jobs people do. Digital Asset customers saved the bank in March but that "moat" is about to be drained by FedNow. spending money on science projects but little to no bonuses for employees after best year ever. Bonus is minimal if any, e.g. 10% and then only 40% of that is in cash. The remainder is vested over 3 years. Pure BS! Pay scale is below average for PA employees and average for NY employees and that creates animosity between offices. So many better opportunities in financial services that CUBI.

Pros

Customers Bank has talented employees and offers opportunities to work on meaningful projects in a fast-growing organization. My experience is specific to the People Experience (HR) team, not the company as a whole.

Cons

The workload wasn’t the problem; the leadership culture was. Priorities changed constantly, direction shifted frequently, and expectations often changed without clear communication. It was difficult to gain momentum because projects were regularly redirected or reworked before they could be completed. The culture seemed to value being immediately responsive and highly visible over thoughtful planning and long-term execution. Rather than empowering employees, the management style felt reactive, closely managed, and inconsistent. That made it difficult to feel successful, regardless of the effort you put in. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment with constant change and little structure, this may be a good fit. If you value collaboration, clear communication, stable priorities, and the ability to take ownership of your work, you may find the environment frustrating. If you’re interviewing for an HR role, ask about leadership style, turnover, how priorities are set, and how success is measured. The answers to those questions will tell you a lot.
