      Pros

      Very few in management who can still lead by example. If you are lucky enough to work under the few amazing talented leaders, you will be guarded from all the horrible, incompetent, demanding, failing, and abusive monster that is Union Bank. It is possible to be happy working here if you are lucky enough to have a manager who is a genuine, talented, & sharp person but that is seriously a slim chance.

      Cons

      The bank starting from the very top all the way down to bottom of the food chain does not care about their customers or their employees and that is clear. Extreme work load & impossible unrealistic goals just to over stress set you up for failure so that they can rightfully give you chump change come annual reviews. Favoritism, nepotism, dictatorship, no senior management & management accountability. Unbelievable incompetence from demanding managers. Terrible morale, cliques encouraged, bullying encouraged, not a second free to be able to submit the reports you are required to by law as MANDATED REPORTER. Poor training leaving way to much room for error. Seriously lowest technology ever & seriously not user friendly systems, a kindergartner could do a better job in writing the bank policy, procedure, manuals. Almost like they don't want you find any of the banks policy's or manuals. Be prepared to be whipped on your back & work everyday because you're now picking up slack of 4 or more employees who go to lunch & never come back. Don't work if you're hardworking, honest, & want to be appreciated/recognized unless you are also narcissistic & dont care who you have to take out. BYOW bring your own water....

      Senior management is ruthless. Trying to be another Countrywide which you know is the worst.

      Maybe you will have some nice coworkers

      Cons

      This bank is uncompetitive with any competition. They seem to think we are still in the mid 90’s since much of their software and processes remain antiquated and out of date. Constantly changing policies and creation of extra fire ringed hoops for employees to jump through just to service a customer. They blame it on regulators, but this is not the case as other banks do not have these same issues. Compensation plan for bankers is terrible and they just announced it is getting worse. Now they won’t compensate you except semi-annually which is completely out of sync with other banks. The idiot on the call stated “it’s an industry trend”. That’s total BS. The performance periods have been extended industry wide but most banks will pay on deals quarterly and several banks monthly. Find one of these companies to work for if you don’t want to wait until May of next year to be paid for something you did in September. Underwriting guidelines are subpar and a HELOC takes 60-70 days to close. By that time customers just ask to cancel the process because they can get it done in 15-20 days elsewhere. Even employees don’t use us for lending needs since anyone can find a more competitive bank that has the ambition to get it done quickly within a mile radius of the branch. Sales goals are terrible and focus on metrics that are not possible to meet given low branch traffic (credit cards) and subpar HELOC products. Deposits pay nothing except for a $400 incentive semi-annually if the branch goal is met. Lastly they attempted to do remodels beginning in 2017 but this is failing miserably. Some branches have received a remodel but it is always done on the cheap. Essentially they are making themselves into a crappier version of chase. Other branches are void of a remodel and they ran out of money so these remodels have to be delayed. If you work in one of these then you will be embarrassed to go to work each day as the branches look old and run down.
