3. Many positions do not get payed for the things they have to deal with from the company
4. Too many jobs for 1 job. I.E. 40 hour teller = Lead Teller, Trainer, ABM, SSA without proper compensation.
5. Bad quality uniforms

Advice to Senior Management

Look closely at what lower and middle management is doing. They are running amok and causing the "uniform" experience to become whatever they feel they want it to be. Also please listen to your employees about uniform enhancements, adding a bow-tie is not the equivalent of better shirts.

Remove levels of management

Pros

Great benefits & 401K, great training programs, has a good CEO

Cons

Branch managers for better words suck! District managers will not listen to employees about problems in the branch. If there was not a Chase on every corner then comission would be great! All former WAMU branches create over population in the area so you have less customers. Too much service issues to deal with, that needs to be for the managers to deal with but the managers seem to think they are too good to handle that. Managers are lazy! We are sales people, we create revenue for the company, not to deal with old people who want their statements printed out or people who want fees back because they don't read their mail!

Advice to Senior Management

District managers need to listen to employees! If a branch has low morale and all of a sudden turns around and starts performing at a performance level 2 when the branch manager is out on leave, that should tell you something right there!
