Pros

The customers! It was worth the time. I met some pretty interesting people..good of course. Classes within the company to help with advancement. Learing the material was pretty easy and the learning tapes are so dumb its easy to pass. If you passed in one section you received a plaque and you can show it off at your window (made me look more professional)

Cons

They didn't care about my school schedule..I had to fight with my manager to give me my days off so I can attend classes..not very supportive in that area. They didn't treat everyone fairly. For the ladies you ALWAYS had to wear nylons! I hated that even when I was wearing long pants and who sees your shoes or socks or nyons when your behind the teller station?? stuipid

Pros

Union Bank of California is very fair toward its minority employees. It is one of the most "color blind" place I've worked. The issue of work/life balance is treated seriously; it is not a "churn and burn" environment. The vacation, sick time and paid holidays are very generous. Career opportunities are good in some areas, especially in the core financial products where sales skills and management skills are especially important. The company does a good job of communicating its strategy and direction to the employees, especially if you are interested in learning about it and take a bit of initiative.

Cons

Union Bank of California can carry loyalty to long-term employees too far. They sometimes promote and/or retain people they really shouldn't. People promoted past their level of competency are often still retained (even if demoted), which is compassionate, but often works against the greater good of overall morale. Some areas (especially the more clerical ones) are relatively good at evaluating employees and offering feedback, but other areas really lack this. Employee reviews are often done months late, and ratings half-heartedly assigned. There seems to be very little correlation between evaluation and compensation, especially when it comes to handing out bonuses.

Pros

Diversity, opportunity for advancement, great ongoing training programs. Team oriented sales culture. 25th largest bank in the United States. Stable financial standing. Majority shareholder, Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi, is one of the 10 largest banks in the world. Good employee discounts and assistance programs. Overall, a really good place to work.

Cons

Changes in sales philosophy making it difficult to grasp new sales strategies. As with any financial institution, sales and goals are life. Pressure to meet and exceed goals is present although not as stressful as WFB or B of A. Managers must wear many hats, sometimes too many. Stressful at times.
