Highly political and dysfunctional

Recommend

Pros

The pay is decent with reasonable benefits. I have worked with a few employees who are not completely useless and political, but not many.

Cons

A bloated and useless staff of incompetent seat fillers. The lack of knowledge here is mind-numbing. Basic business skills are completely lacking. Unorganized, unethical and utterly lazy. There are an unconscionable number of employees who spend more time and effort looking for ways to not work than to actually work. And where is management? Too busy either brown-nosing or looking to hire more contractors/consultants because they were convinced their department is short-staffed. The red tape makes one think they work for the government. And please don't try and make things better, it's not going to happen.

Pros

• Okay place to work if you've got the right manager and are part of the right team • Promotes community involvement

Cons

• Continuously cutting and outsourcing departments and staff with no regard for negative impact on the organization and client experience • Outsourcing critical and sensitive IT, back office, and customer support functions to offshore companies (is our clients' data safe?) • Culture of placing blame and escalating to get things done • Too many fast talkers in charge instead of critical thinkers (too many middle managers that have no idea what they are doing) • Always on to the next new idea/project without fully developing the previous ones (too many half baked projects) • Employees are not valued

Political Nightmare

Anonymous employee

Pros

The people used to be the the biggest pro but each change in management brings in new cliques and politics

Cons

Politics, ineffective decision making, bloated departments with no leadership. No one is in charge, lots of infighting. The bank is run by outside consultants who only have their best interest, scope creep and their profit as the driving force. Internal process is bogged down by layers of opinions, forms and hierarchy, nothing gets accomplished.
