Mechanics Bank reviews

-Systems are outdated, lack of training for bank employees, and poor onboarding process for new employees -Poor upper management -Toxic work environment with lack of confidentiality and support -Upper management expects high performance without any resources or support -Upper management is belittling when you are not performing and it is reflected in attitude and how you are treated at the bank

The only goal of Mechanics Bank is to make money for their primary shareholder, The Ford Fund. They plan to grow the Bank over the next 3 years and sell it. So they have no intentions on improving morale, culture, processes, or anything else. Their business model has no reference to hiring the best employees, retaining them, rewarding them, or anything of the like. Expect to work here, have little concept as to what you do, who your manager is, or what the purpose of it all is. They spout a lot of "values" and "community" verbiage in their communications, and follow through on none of it. Red tape galore to get anything approved, and magically no one "owns" any processes, so approvals are non-existent. Things like flexible work and flexible dress codes are "not understood" by senior management, which is a nice way of saying "no", or a stupid way of admitting you are out of touch with today's workforce. Truly is terrible place to work. I would rate them a 0 if I could.
