Chaos, constant chaos. In more than 15 years working in financial services I thought I had been through the worst of chaotic situations, only for TCB to say, “hold my beer and watch this.” There is hope that as leadership changes begin to slow the chaos will diminish, but that has not happened yet. Others have mentioned employees having to use PTO when branches were closed during the Texas ice storm in February and that really has left many of us wondering about the priorities of our new leadership team. Like most companies there is always so much spin and positivity coming from the top. This wouldn’t be bad except execution and implementation rarely matches the picture painted for employees. Everyday many of us wonder which of our work friends/colleagues will be next to turn in their notice. I typically try to keep a level head when it comes managing my expectations from my employer but, unfortunately, TCB has found a way to make even those of us who are calm and consistent to wonder why the hell we’re still here. The embers of the previous culture where you really felt valued as an employee are basically extinguished. If I’m being totally honest, work here if you really need a job and are in need of an income. Otherwise, there’s really nothing else that separates TCB any longer from other banks and the competition. If you’re choosing between multiple offers, only take the one from TCB if it pays the most and you really need that little bit extra.
