TD Commerce Bank Reviews

Pros

good pay and benefits too

Cons

was a lot better before takeover

Advice to Senior Management

no advice. left there a few years ago

Pros

Very little to say on a positive end. Worked for other banks by far the worst bank. Pay is horrible long hours I was offered a promotion after 8 months of employment. The increase in salary did not match the increase in responsibilities. Branch Manager was never around its like he did not exist. Branch managers would receive a six figure salary for going to meetings and never show up on weekends. The whole structure was a joke At one point I worked 11 days in a row including weekends. all the pressure would be put on the assistant branch managers and they would only make half the salary as the Branch manager.

Cons

They run the place like a gap retail store instead of a bank. Sorry lollipops and free pens wont attract business in a market like NewYork

Advice to Senior Management

Look at your competitors see how they run things. Stop "shopping your employees" and pay them fair market value compared to your competitors. Its not all about Branch appearance people want quality service with quality products not free pens

Pros

Management and coworkers are the best in TD

Cons

Open 7 days a week, 6:30Am - 8:30PM is a very tough schedule even its rotating every week.

Advice to Senior Management

Branch managers are great, just the upper management only care about the # not the employees nor the customers

Pros

The people - coworkers - lower management were great to work with.

Cons

Upper management need to communicate more with workers.

Advice to Senior Management

Get to know your workers

Pros

PTO time is generous relative to other companies

Cons

Base Salary is low relative to other companies

Pros

Commerce had a fun work culture. Exceeding expectations was encouraged, not forced.

Cons

With the switch to TD, the environment become more like some other big banks, more of a "publish or perish" feel.

Advice to Senior Management

Don't try to be one of the big banks, what made you great was your small bank mentality.

Vacation sick personal time off are very good. Not stressful when goals required. If do job good get recognize. Ok place to work.

Cons

Can be some favoritism. Can be too customer is always right. Too much monthly secret shopper shops. Can get very busy depending on location working.

Advice to Senior Management

Customer is not always right. Stick up more for your employees. Bring back the free checking account for 50 plus customers.

Pros

Great training for young professionals or recent college graduates looking to build up their resume, learn a lot in a very fast paced and at times hectic environment, management is very friendly and approachable.

Cons

The pay isnt that great especially for recent college graduates, and likely will end up losing a ton of good employees when the economy improves and jobs with better compensation pop up.

Advice to Senior Management

Basically just improve the pay scale for the employees, or see many high quality employees leave for greener pastures once the economy turns around.

Internal favouritism is at unacceptable level
