Pros

Great healthcare benefits and ability to "purchase" more vacation time. Leads and supervisors are great and as supportive as they can be with limited resources.

Cons

There was a huge culture change when the merger got closer to being "finalized". Employee turnover became high, branches were being closed. There were a lot of issues tech and policy wise when changes were being made that affected clients and their ability to access their accounts. Call volume increased dramatically in February. Calls were back to back, every other call was a complaint. Clients were understandably irritable and sometimes abusively angry. Wait times could be over an hour. People were constantly being hired but being thrown on the phones too soon with not enough training so there were lots of calls being made to fix those mistakes. It started to feel like the bank stopped actually caring about the clients and employees and became more concerned about profit. Pay was too low and the benefits didn't outweigh the stress I felt the last several months working here.

Pros

Opportunity to build long-term relationships with physicians and medical professionals to make a meaningful impact by helping them achieve financial security and life goals. Ability to develop expertise in a niche market, creating strong professional differentiation.

Cons

Expect high-performance pressure to meet revenue, asset growth, and client acquisition goals. Long sales cycle, as developing trust with physicians and converting prospects into clients can take months or years. Developing strong relationships requires effective networking, prospecting, and event attendance beyond traditional work hours.

Pros

Pay and good people (whatever is left). Nice amentities.

Cons

Things started going downhill in 2023. New senior leader took over our department and created the most hostile environment I have ever experienced which was motivated unchecked by leaders above them. Too many good leaders left and what is left are the most incompetent and toxic leadership you will ever see. There is a reason the bank isn't doing so good and it's reputation at this point is unsalavageable. Another merger won't save Truist and offshoring jobs to India is an attempt to milk the company until the well runs dry and executives abandon ship with steep payouts.
