Pros

My team was wonderful and highly skilled. Unfortunately it felt like they did everything in their power to gut it.

Cons

Mechanics only cares about making money for the Ford Fund. You are just a number and disposable. Processes are stuck in a small bank mentality and they got rid of the majority of people who know how to run a big bank. They aren’t worried about this though, because they don’t truly care about the long term future of the bank. They want short term profits and to sell it. The majority of Executive Management is older, white men. Everything is constantly being cut. Budgets, jobs, etc. One of the worst company culture’s I’ve ever experienced. I went from loving my job and the company I worked for, to feeling not valued at all and constantly on edge about when there would be more bad news about decisions the company made. I also felt like there was pressure to do things that were not right.

Pros

It is a new position for me. The training I have received has been exceptional. The vibe in the office so far is really good. I see room for growth and I now have a work life balance.

Cons

I'd like more pay but who doesn't. I believe I am paid correctly for my experience.

Pros

Decent pay, no work weekends

Cons

Back office operations is extremely unorganized during mergers, there is little to no communication with employees from upper management about plans, changes, etc. The company makes it clear they value profits over people.
