Pros

IT Service Desk (call center) position pays well. There is some chance for advancement to other groups if you move from contractor to hire.

Cons

Specific to IT SERVICE DESK: Weak, petty lower level leadership engaging in derogatory treatment based on personal biases and persistent, all-encompassing micromanagement. Do not expect initiative to be rewarded, or even well tolerated. If you express concerns, expect it will result in hostile treatment rather than anything beneficial. It is also a long, long road to reach the point of being hired, as opposed to remaining a perpetual contractor. Despite assurances during the interview process that this is just around the corner, my observation was that most worked up to 2 years or more before being brought on board, if they were at all. Specific to IT AS A WHOLE AT OPS (Operations Center in Richardson): There are some great, talented people here. However there is pervasive infighting and territorial squabbles as well as a tit-for-tat bit of game playing among the managers of various groups which often hobbles the ability of IT to be a cohesive, efficient force. In addition, the nearly complete turnover of upper and mid-level management has gutted IT, running off its talent and those with deep legacy knowledge who actually understand how things work well and why. GENERAL, THE ENTIRE COMPANY: There was a fantastic culture at this bank in previous years. It was a wonderful place to work for years. Then recently almost the entire bank leadership and a good deal of management in general left the bank, being replaced by CEO Holmes and others who have NO IDEA what the bank's culture was or what made it great. With no understanding of culture or structure they began immediately destroying it, like locusts consuming a crop. They declared and dictated, took afront when challenged or questioned, and forced those out who made the bank a great place to be. The culture when I left recently had been completely destroyed bank-wide. It was a shame to see this all happen.

Pros

Good people still remain at the bank but they are dropping like flies due to no WFH policy of any kind.

Cons

CEO’s backward thinking to mandate 100% onsite work for all (even IT) regardless of COVID rates or employees’ job responsibilities.

Pros

The company has decent benefits and the pay has historically been good (depending on your position). You’ll definitely make more money coming from outside the company as pay increases are minimal, even if you’re promoted. To be fair, this is the case for many companies so get as much as you can up front. Many employees are great to work with and have continued to try to make the best of an extremely chaotic situation which has persisted for almost two years now. This chaos existed prior to new executive leadership but their communication tactics and brash decisions have done nothing to improve the situation. Returning to the office is not a problem as the culture among most colleagues is awesome, however, the decision to not pursue some sort of formal Alternative Work Arrangement for those not required to be in office each day is short-sighted and appears to be based entirely on the CEOs comfort level. It is confusing that leadership within each division is not trusted to adequately assess their employees ability to manage and balance work either in office or from home.

Cons

Chaos, constant chaos. In more than 15 years working in financial services I thought I had been through the worst of chaotic situations, only for TCB to say, “hold my beer and watch this.” There is hope that as leadership changes begin to slow the chaos will diminish, but that has not happened yet. Others have mentioned employees having to use PTO when branches were closed during the Texas ice storm in February and that really has left many of us wondering about the priorities of our new leadership team. Like most companies there is always so much spin and positivity coming from the top. This wouldn’t be bad except execution and implementation rarely matches the picture painted for employees. Everyday many of us wonder which of our work friends/colleagues will be next to turn in their notice. I typically try to keep a level head when it comes managing my expectations from my employer but, unfortunately, TCB has found a way to make even those of us who are calm and consistent to wonder why the hell we’re still here. The embers of the previous culture where you really felt valued as an employee are basically extinguished. If I’m being totally honest, work here if you really need a job and are in need of an income. Otherwise, there’s really nothing else that separates TCB any longer from other banks and the competition. If you’re choosing between multiple offers, only take the one from TCB if it pays the most and you really need that little bit extra.
