San Diego, CA

Former Employee – worked at Union Bank N.A. full-time for more than 10 years

ProsUnion Bank cares for its employees and offers great benefits. They run annual employee surveys to get feedback and make necessary changes to areas that employees are not happy with.

ConsUnion Bank has too many levels of management. Senior managers are unaware of issues at the lower level, so issues don't always get addressed appropriately.

Advice to Senior ManagementThere are too many levels of management where the senior managers don't really know what is going on at lower levels.

ProsCompany on the move, growing and opportunities abound! Great work-life balance if your and an adult that understands you need to work a living. I truly appreciate being at a job where you are appreciated for the work you do. In the 3 months that I have been here I can truly say all the people I have met have been really good people.

ConsSlow to implement every improvement - regulatory controls.
Heath benefits is high cost than other past employers.
Systems are still in process of updating and we're feeling some of the pain.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep searching out great talent and let all who are willing to work hard and do a great job go with you on the journey. Keep opening new opportunities for us.

San Francisco, CA

Former Employee – worked at Union Bank N.A. full-time for more than 10 years

ProsThe majority of the people working at Union Bank are genuine, hard working, invested in the company and helpful. Overall, the company seems to want to promote star contributors and compensates accordingly. Excellent benefits with flexibility.

ConsMany groups are short staffed so workload can be heavy. Much of senior management is top notch - very few bad eggs. Management styles vary greatly among the different divisions.

Monterey Park, CA

Current Employee – been working at Union Bank N.A. full-time for more than 3 years

ProsPay is above average that's about all.

ConsNo advancement opportunities, low raises, and poor management.

San Diego, CA

Former Employee – worked at Union Bank N.A. full-time for more than 8 years

ProsGreat benefits, great overall company values, training classes

ConsManagement of specific groups was awful

Advice to Senior ManagementPay attention to how many people are going out on leave and watch the trends of groups and how many people are being let go or quitting - this is an indication there is something wrong and management must be held accountable for the bad morale and high turn-over.

Sacramento, CA

Current Employee – been working at Union Bank N.A. full-time for more than 10 years

ProsCompetitive pay, easy for tenured employees to keep their job (unless branch closures prevent that)

ConsSr Management is floundering in this low rate environment. Rates and regulations have DRASTICALLY cut profits, Sr managements pursues non-sensical initiatives and abandons them part way, such as scrapping a multi-BILLION dollar systems update after realizing it was not compatible with any of our existing systems, (whoops?) Mid-management continues to turn up the pressure and stress, while handing down layoffs, announcing branch closures, and setting impossible "stretch" goals and non-stop "campaigns". Morale is at an all time low and doesn't seem to be changing any time soon.

Advice to Senior ManagementStep 1: Determine a target market (are we targeting the affluent and understanding the low volume that entails?, or are we mass market realizing quality of client will suffer?). Step 2: learn how to win within that market using excellent service and specific product. Step 3: deploy a plan that sets realistic goals, backed by sufficient marketing, and supported by all departments.
