Pros
Great community bank. Great teamwork
Cons
M&T's foundation is based on community and that is where they shine. They do however need to invest more in their management development and management skills. They lack in training their employees properly, there is no formal orientation to learn the companies culture, and there is no baseline to what is expected of what is expected of you. The expectations are very high, which it should be, but there was rarely any feedback unless it was negative feedback. For the first 2 weeks of the job, I was given my laptop, documentation, compliance videos, and benefit information but was left alone to learn it on my own. I wasn't paired with anyone but if I had questions was told to reach out to a fellow teammate and get the answers or to refer to the documentation. This may just be departmental, but I made do with the information that was presented to me. They tend to spread you really thin when it comes to projects. I was working on 3 different entities of the business and wasn't provided any additional assistance or offered any. Many late nights and some weekends to meet objectives and tasks with no recognition or even a thank you.
