Pros

Some of senior management is great, but unfortunately not many. Many employees, including management still believe in the former culture.

Cons

Salary is not comparable to other companies of the same size. They have dropped full health insurance coverage to a HSA for $8 less bi-weekly. Poor middle management. Prefer to cover up issues instead of fix them. High turnover in key support and functional positions. Low employee engagement. HR ignores grievances of labor law violations in addition to M&T Bank policy violations. M&T's culture has changed quite a bit since I started 8 years ago, and unfortunately not for the better. Please take the advice that us middle managers are trying to convey.

Pros

The team members were generally supportive, and the role offered exposure to probate and estate administration. It can be a starting point for gaining experience in a specialized area of banking.

Cons

Many of the advertised benefits of the role did not align with the day-to-day reality. Opportunities for growth, training, and process improvement were limited, and the workload often felt driven by volume rather than quality. Communication and expectations could be inconsistent, making it difficult to feel supported or set up for long-term success.
