Pros

Honestly, there are not a lot of good reasons. The 2008 Employee Satisfaction Survey showed another year of generally dismally unhappy employees. Less than 40% said they would recommend a friend or family member to work at UMB. There is always a big flurry of activity right after the survey comes out - management talking about the changes, etc. but very little actually gets done to improve the situation. The best I can come up with is that they do offer some flexibility for work life balance.

Cons

Where to begin?! As a regional midwestern bank, the firm's footprint is small, and name recognition for some of their businesses that they try to market nationally just falter because of their low name recognition.

Advice to Senior Management

show more respect for your employees - not just lip-service.
