Comerica Reviews

Pros

Good employees and culture within the company. Company not too large and it still retains the feel of a smaller employer

Cons

Culture promotes incompetence between departments to a certain extent. Also company far too slow with upgrading technology and is generally a follower in the field, not a leader

Pros

I needed a job. I just graduated from college and I thought it would be a great place to get my foot in the door for other opportunities. It's a job. That's the benefit.

Cons

The pay is low and the promotions are non-existent. I am not motivated. The job is strictly administrative work.

Advice to Senior Management

Promote when you see that an employee is worth promoting not after 2 and 3 years.

Pros

Extremely overworked, regional management is detached from the banking center level, frequently very short staffed, having to meet goals set for personal banker while sometimes also acting as a teller for significant portions of the work week.

Advice to Senior Management

The retail portion of the bank is viewed as a liability by upper management. Other banks look at the retail outlets as opportunities for new business and growth. By being reactive instead of proactive, Comerica is quietly suggesting that customers take their business to other banks that are more capable of meeting their customer's needs. There are many instances where a banking center can be so extremely busy that customers turn around and walk out the door immediately upon entering-knowing they may have to wait a very long time to be helped-this is not due to workplace inefficiency but lack of appropriate staffing levels. Personal Bankers should be held to much higher standards and banking centers can become major business conduits instead of liabilities on the balance sheet.

Pros

Great environment
Quick Confilict mitigation procedures

Cons

Low-end technology
Too conservative for the changing world
No programs for part-timers
Very hard to move up within the company (very limited)
