Not a rewarding experience - Assistant Vice President Investment Analyst Truist Employee Review

Compensation is not competitive - I personally received $0 in raises or bonuses my last 2 years at the company. There is very little action taken to foster the career growth of junior / mid level employees. In this role specifically, there are no performance benchmarks to measure up against and your evaluation as an employee is purely subjective. Post merger, the reporting structure is disjointed. From my seat in New York, I had a manager in Virginia who reported to a manager in Pennsylvania. Leadership was hard to come by. Company technology is so far behind that even simple tasks are convoluted and time consuming. It is hard to appear efficient and productive with the tools you are provided. Teams are consistently short staffed across the company, making life difficult for everyone. In my opinion, working for Truist has all of the drawbacks of working for a big bank (beaurocracy, etc.), with none of the prestige.
