-Lack of Long-term Planning, Inadequate Resources, Inadequate Staffing, Aggressive or Unrealistic Goal Setting, Reactive Management Culture, Inconsistency between Departments and Policies.
-The company throws people, money, resources at a problem without a thorough plan which leads to constant and never-ending changes. I witnessed this through 5 years of services in 3 Lines of Businesses. They do a poor job of retaining, developing, and grooming personnel. Training is non-existent even for long-term employees let alone new employees. I’ve watched many new people leave after a few months to a year. There is high attrition for anyone under 2 years of service.
-Employee engagement and employee recognition is atrocious. promotional opportunity is non-existent for anyone looking for merit-based opportunity. You have to be a crony, suck-up, or be really really lucky to get promoted.
-Post sale of the Consumer Bank (UnionBank) to US Bank, there will be a much smaller company with much less opportunity for those seeking it.
-Bank is not a great place to start a career, get broader experience, or come to get promoted. It’s very very transactional and may be okay if you need steady employment/pay and just a “job.”
