Pros

- Beautiful campus with wide open spaces and open floor plans and onsite cafe - Pockets of good humans doing good work

Cons

- Fantastic culture they claim is all a byproduct of excellent marketing and PR. Actual culture is highly political. A "pass the buck" culture with little to no accountability by leadership. - RTO "mandates" and other corporate policies are enforced inconsistently - Mediocre outdated benefits and non-competitive pay, raises are unimpressive at best and bonuses are often far less than promised - Competence and hard work are rewarded with more work and responsibility and 0 acknowledgement... 10% of the employees carry the rest by taking on x times more workload while leadership continues to emphasize a need for greater efficiency with no action behind it. - Incompetent and Toxic Leaders fail up due to cult like politics and Utah "bro" culture at the top - Failures are hidden or spun into tales of success instead of acknowledged and improved upon - Transparency is non existent - CEO runs the organization as if it's an MLM and not a bank and is constantly pressuring employees to "refer friends and family" to open accounts - Tech and processes are 15 - 20 years behind and all but a couple of technical leaders have little to no capability or strategic ability to fix - The people who could change the organization for the better leave because of all of the above

Has ZERO Diversity

Pros

There are no pros for this company

Cons

This place is antiquated and archaic in every way. It's who you know, not what. Unqualified people are promoted all the time, as long as they are the same gender and race as the rest of executives. There are no women or minorities in leadership positions. Working here is 5 torturous days in-office with no rewards and weak benefits.

Highly Political

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Zions desires to move forward with technology cloud solutions but are hesitant to make strong moves due to security concerns.

Cons

Highly political due to leadership and shareholder demand. Zions now has as its three largest shareholders - statestreet, vanguard and blackrock.
