the only way your workers are going to want to do a better job is if they treat them well as well.

Pros

Bank of America has some of the best benefits in the business. It offers pretty good health care and retirement, employee support and vacation time. However, these should not be replacements for good old fashion salary compensation.

Associates are grossly underpaid with the promise of bonuses to suppliment the salary. Often, these bonuses don't "cut the mustard".

Cons

Carrot and a stick as far as pay. I started as teller then sr teller (no raise) then TOS and got a whole 1 Dollar raise! What a waste of time. 2/3 more work for one dollar. If you think about it, I got a pay cut for my work.

Fun environment if you are a people person and are not easily upset/bothered by rude customers...

Can get really repetitive and management will pressure you to sell bank products to customers....pay sucks (8.50) for what they expect of you. I didn't stay long enough to learn about promotional opportunities.

Advice to Senior Management

I never had issues with management at my branch...just realize most people don't care to upgrade their service/open new accounts when they are just coming to make a deposit or cash a check.

Pros

The Health Scheme is good, Excellent place to work if you've never worked anywhere else and know no better....

Cons

A bit like being in a factory - a lot of rules, a bit like being back at school

Advice to Senior Management

Listen better to employees - they've got brains and experience as well....
