Pros

Most people work hard, and are good at what they do.

Cons

This company use to be great. But with their goal of becoming a "Top 10" bank, all that has been lost. As new senior management was brought into the ITG department, the morale has hit rock bottom. There is no work/life balance whatsoever. Senior management does not care about retaining employees (and has publicly voiced this). Employees are regarded as "labor" and worked to the bone until they eventually resign. This plays into senior management's favor as their idea of saving money is through attrition. Managers are shown no respect by senior management as their micro-management style by-passes them completely.

Pros

There are a lot of very good hard working individuals at Union Bank and there is always someone (not management) within your group that is willing to help out if needed. The hours are also very flexible.

Cons

It seems that every time I needed assistance from management they were no where to be found or would have their office door shut indicating do not disturb or currently in a meeting. I always found this odd when "a favorite" would enter the office like they were visiting a close relative. There is definitely favoritism within the units of UB. It doesn't matter how long you've worked there the same individuals (the favs) are usually the ones getting promoted. The work atmosphere is almost robotic as it seems the highest of importance to management is spitting out those numbers. In the daily life as an employee of UB there was no such thing as an 8hr day! What ever happened to quality before quantity? There is no room for mistakes in the world of BSA/AML and when one is pushed beyond exhaustion to spit out the daily/monthly numbers there is bound to be some mistakes! Rushing = mistakes! It's not what you know at UB it's who's a** you kiss and who you know! I've been working in this field since 2001 and very knowledgable; however I wasn't about to rush through my work. I believe as long as you are within BSA/AML compliance time frames you are doing what is best for the bank. I didn't sign up for data entry, I'm a certified anti money laundering specialist!
