Pros
What SunTrust stands for I truly believe in. They give back to the community and I like their core values. The hiring process was easy. I enjoyed working with non-management because everyone who wasn’t a manager was down to earth. If you stick with it there are great opportunities for growth but that’s with any retail bank. I would suggest working at any other bank but this one.
Cons
Upper management is horrible in this region. Very out of touch with what it’s like in the day to day process of retail banking. They would expect unrealistic goals and give unrealistic advice on how to reach those goals. Upper management would stress out branch managers with these goals which would in turn make the branch managers just as unpleasant to work with. This is evident in the turnover rate, within my first 3 weeks working at SunTrust 2 people WALKED OUT of work and 2 more were fired for “sales related” issues.
