Pros

Pay is above average I think, the benefits package is comparable to other jobs. Overall the people are good to work with and fun to be around. Culture is above average.

Cons

Management seemed like they did the best they could with the information they had but something was still lacking. There was some favoratism and there was a sweat shop work ethic expected.

Pros

Honestly, there are not a lot of good reasons. The 2008 Employee Satisfaction Survey showed another year of generally dismally unhappy employees. Less than 40% said they would recommend a friend or family member to work at UMB. There is always a big flurry of activity right after the survey comes out - management talking about the changes, etc. but very little actually gets done to improve the situation. The best I can come up with is that they do offer some flexibility for work life balance.

Cons

Where to begin?! As a regional midwestern bank, the firm's footprint is small, and name recognition for some of their businesses that they try to market nationally just falter because of their low name recognition.

Pros

Patience is rewarded, strong financial perfomance among commercial banks.

Cons

Sub-market compensation,no incentive or bonus structure to non-sales employees, a culture in transition from toxic to productive lacking meaningful buy-in from key senior management, exhausting bureaucracy, strong executive management lacking strong number two's and three's to fill the empty promise.
