Atlanta, GA

Atlanta, GA

Current Employee – been working at SunTrust full-time for more than 3 years

ProsGreat work-life balance
Benefits are above average for the industry

ConsNo career path planning - could be stuck in the same position for many years
Annual pay raises are capped at 2% company wide, unless you get a promotion.
Too many cliques with everyone looking out for only their own. Promotions don't seem merit based, but rather on who you know.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at SunTrust

ProsFriendly work environment. You will have a good work life balance if you manage your time effectively.

ConsIf the region you are working in has poor upper management then your success and "happiness" will suffer. Fortunately if you do well it is easy to transfer out.

Advice to Senior ManagementDo not change policy's so frequently; it makes the firm seem indecisive.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
