Richardson, TX

Current Employee – been working at Bank of America full-time for more than 10 years

ProsExcellent management, career growth opportunities, great benefits

ConsDue to the size, there are opportunities for better communication. Also, there have been times where there hasn't been work/life balance. It is evident that both issues have been acknowledged and resolution is being attempted.

Advice to Senior ManagementBank of America is a great company. Please just realize and acknowledge that when the workload is too high for extended periods of time and associates have to work 60 hours plus a week for years that it will cause burn out and low job satisfaction.

Nashville, TN

Current Employee – been working at Bank of America full-time for less than a year

ProsThere is a wealth of information that could be overwhelming to new comers. However, it's use of technology is first-rate in the world. The structured work duties is beautiful. Access to knowledge is humungous. There is a great room for growth and moving up in the company.

ConsNeed some work on the training for new employees and be more generous with expenses.

Advice to Senior ManagementMore monetary compensation for high achievers and pay more attention to new comers regarding orientation and class-room training in Charlotte as before. new comers need to be away from their banking centers and in a real class in order to absorb the wealth of information thrown at them.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Boise, ID

Former Employee – worked at Bank of America part-time for more than a year

ProsI started out as a Teller and I was able to move up to a Sales & Service Specialist. I loved the people that I worked with and the customers. The company offers great benefits and products. The company is also great about promoting internally. As an Army wife, it is a good company since it is easy to transfer to other states.

ConsThere were times when I felt like I was being pushed to sale products that were not a good fit for our customers. There is some downsizing in the company. A huge con for me was having to step down and go back to part-time since my position was filled where I moved. That may not always be the case, but it was a huge con for me.

Advice to Senior ManagementLook at where the branch is located and set goals based on that. A customer may not want to drive 30 miles to deposit/ withdraw money. Also, really look at what is being referred, some numbers are made up to by tellers to make themselves look good. That not only is dishonest, but makes the other tellers that are doing their job look bad.

Current Employee – been working at Bank of America full-time for more than 8 years

ProsLots of career opportunities at the company, with endless paths to follow and a lot of variety in job options

ConsOften positions are filled based on who you know through "talent planning" rather than job postings that everyone can apply for. In other cases a position is posted but the recruiter or hiring manager will flat-out tell you that have a candidate in mind but have to go through the motions to post it.

West Hills, CA

Current Employee – been working at Bank of America full-time for more than 7 years

Prosgreat benefits, lots of opportunity thru out the company due to its size and promotion of growth, ability to move around in the company and gain knowledge and increase in pay.

Consunstable economy makes realiments of departments and segments of the bank not a guarnteed job for years and years. best to move around from department to department to gain knowledge, get increase in pay (not much increase if you remain in the same department)

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
