You are the face of BofA therefore you receive all of the customers' wrath for things you cannot control or did not do.

Advice to Senior Management

Management should not try so hard to reach sales goals on the back of customers who cannot afford to have credit cards etc. Putting Americans in debt is just one example of how greedy corporations have become. I would constantly have to try to sell customers credit cards and lines of credit that they did not want. Does BofA really think customers are worth more than the money they make off of them? I think not.

Sometimes the managers of the site can be on a power trip.

Wonderful benefits. Employee Help line that aides in fair treatment of employees. Wonderful perks in loans, credit cards and interest rates.

Cons

Work life balance is kinda off. Cold calling and call nights got old very quickly. Raises are not as much as they should be.

Advice to Senior Management

Promote people even if they are excelling at their sales. Allow them a fair shot of moving into another role.

Pros

Benefits are good as well as paid holidays off.

Cons

No matter how well you do they will try and hold you back for promotion. They treat their employees like crap and expect you to work for pennies. I wouldn't suggest working for this company there are other financial institutions that will treat you better and pay and give recognition for all your hard work.

Pros

The health benefits package
the bonuses
the people you work with

Cons

The calls from customers
asking for time off was hard
the constant selling
the hours that you had to work
only able to get off the phone on your breaks

Advice to Senior Management

Management needs to reward their employees more. The compensation was really bad with what you are doing. I feel the moral at the company is really low. I would suggest that you put the power back into the employees.

Pros

Benefits, Well known company, Flexibilty

Cons

Reputation and Customer Dissatisfaction, Negative Media Attention

Advice to Senior Management

Your employees are your most valuable asset

Pros

Stature of working for the biggest bank in the industry.

Cons

B of A places too much value on six sigma. I felt like there was too much a process for everything and client management is not a position that needs strict adherence to process management.

Pros

Open opportunities for employees and Contractors! Many FTE positions!

Cons

Must know someone to obtain FTE positions.
