Advice to Senior Management

n/a

Pros

The training, pay, insurance, people

Cons

The downside sometimes are the hours

Advice to Senior Management

Management should have real expectations for themselves and those they manage. Also they should treat others how they want to be treated.

Pros

Great people. Good opportunities. Pretty good benefits. Excellent location in the beautiful heart of the southern United States.

Cons

Large corporation is always a place where some people get lost in the shuffle. Merger, TARP, and negative focus from current Washington administration have made things challenging the last three to four years.

Pros

Overall I would say the pay is very competitive in comparison to other financial institutions in this area. Management will do a great job in pushing you to your potential. They want you to succeed because it is a great reflection on them.

Cons

Sometimes it can seem that the incentive goal is just out of reach. Every quarter the goal is higher and harder to achieve.

Advice to Senior Management

One thing that can definitely be improved is the training. It should be more interactive if the main portion of your training is going to be sitting at a computer.

Pros

Pay is decent for a technology in the Greater Birmingham area.

Cons

Not on the leading edge of technology. There are many instances where the company lags behind the financial industry and even further behind on the latest developments.

Pros

They have a lot of great benefits

Cons

You have to have tough skin to deal with rude customers

Advice to Senior Management

pay your tellers for their referrals

Pros

culture is great, and management does not micro manage.

Cons

low pay in comparison to other institutions

Pros

Supporting junior management, Team Leaders are very involved in your performance, giving that their incentive is on the line. Fair incentive plan for associates, full time guaranteed, no Sundays and Saturday rotations. Never worked beyond 7 PM. Great sick time/vacation plan, and ten paid holidays. People are very friendly, lots of food given out... You will gain weight.

Cons

Lack of research in the hiring process recently brings underqualified people, thus morale and conficence has been on the decline. Training is sufficient, but lacks a psychological side to it when it comes to dealing with irrate callers.

Advice to Senior Management

Understand your employees' side of the situation. Better prepare employees to the changing banking environment.

Pros

Having pretty much every holiday off is pretty sweet, and they also offer a lot of vacation time as well.

Cons

Sometimes you have limited help which makes it difficult to complete all of your work. Customers are some times rude.

Pros

I have been pretty happy. I really enjoy my coworkers and managers. I have always received the coaching for the position I desired along with clear goals I needed to achieve them. I do feel that the company promotes from within

Cons

Management emphasis sales over any other aspect of our job. If you want a promotion you must be a proficient salesman at least on the retail side. I have felt that management has forgotten that we are Customer Service Representative and Customer Experience is just as important to retaining customers as gaining new ones.

Advice to Senior Management

Concentrate more on communication and team building because if these things are set right then sales will automatically happen. Communication is key
