SunTrust Reviews

Pros

Good reputation, strong financials, conservative environment, some good managers

Cons

Glacial innovation, byzantine internal structure

Advice to Senior Management

Truly encourage innovation. That means sometimes living with mistakes made in the course of trying new things. If all you do is punish mistakes, you end up with a work force that avoids any risk and nothing gets done. Secondly, just fire everyone in the EDS group. They are useless. Working with them is like dealing with mafiosos who also work for the government.

Pros

decent benefits, great team, and it keeps you moving!

Cons

we work hard, and it seems with the reduction of workers in a branch, we need to be paid more

Advice to Senior Management

compensate your workers!

Pros

It's a job. The work itself is interesting, and if you are a self motivated profesional, you can find plenty of work that needs to be done.

Cons

Inhouse politics instead of managerial team leadership. Lack of insight regarding structural costs. Waste of resources - human and financial.

Advice to Senior Management

Streamline processes and make investments to protect the ability to provide quality service levels. Cutting out coffee don't cut it. Asking people to do more with less is not a long term solution to staying competitive. Cut out all the "team member" sloganeering and treat your staff as an important resource, not a fungible item.

Pros

Teammates are friendly and encouraging; management is very down to earth.

Cons

In-store hours are long. There are too many conference calls, meetings, etc.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work.

Pros

free checks and thats about it

Cons

terrible managers and team leaders

Advice to Senior Management

more knowledgable managers
and less personal knowledge

Pros

Lots of vacation and holiday time

Cons

Too many backstabbers. People are not allowed to do their jobs. Raises are crappy or nonexistent. Overly political for no reason.

Advice to Senior Management

Trust people to do their jobs. Stop backstabbing. Talent is continuously pushed away because of politics.

Pros

Working at my office has truly been a pleasure because of the teammates and clients that I get to see daily. They're reason I am excited to go to work everyday.

Cons

Hours are to long in an in-store. Senior management doesn't seem to take in-store teams or teammates seriously. Movement in company seems to be solely based on who you know and not individual performance or accomplishments for the bank.

Pros

Name recognition, salary and benefits.

Cons

Members of my group were incredibly negative and demoralizing.

Pros

There are many opportunities to grow as long as you do your part.

If you start off with a lower pay, it will be very hard to get more money.

Advice to Senior Management

Make a more fair pay scale.
