Tight-knit culture
Remaining competitive within the banking industry
Decent compensation
Good open door policy
Great work-life balance

Cons

Horrible, horrible benefits
Different departments are not in sync with one another
Favoritism is shown towards certain employees
Some departments are lacking direction
Limited growth and advancement within certain departments

Advice to Senior Management

To further boost morale among employees you guys should reward employees hard work with better benefits package, more compensation and create growth and advancement among all departments. Also focus on getting all departments and affiliate banks in sync with each other

Pros

Peer employees are very nice and treat you like family

Cons

They are quick to terminate with little provocation and quickly distance themselves from you if they are worried about a customer complaint.

Advice to Senior Management

Take some time to assess the good qualities of your hard working employees before looking for reasons to terminate them.

Pros

Challenging work in a critical part of finance. A large regional bank with many career opportunities. Rarely any layoffs and wages are average or better than other local banks.

Cons

Horrible, horrible benefits. Specifically, the dental/vision plan, which makes routine checkups difficult for those with lower incomes. The health plan is high deductible/catastrophic, so plan on putting away several thousand dollars for routine medical expenditures or pregnancies. A large chunk of your net pay will be needed to cover what you may have had in the past.

Politics is difficult to manuever at Zions. Like any other employer, 'favorite' employees will receive the attention of management despite less experience or knowledge. Be proactive and useful if you wish to move up.

Advice to Senior Management

Reward excellence with monetary compensation!

Pros

great work-life balance, pay is comparable, supportive management team and good potential for growth

Cons

very low diversity, zero sensitivity training and so you can be exposed to many ignorant and unprofessional comments from your collegues specially when you are in minority, no formal training opportunities, bad insurance plans

Advice to Senior Management

provide sensitivity training to attract more diversity

Pros

- Decent work schedule (8-5 M-F)
- Bank holidays
- Good amount of sick time
- Decent (or great, depending on pay level) vacation time
- Some departments allow employees to work from home

Cons

- Management is ineffective in many departments
- HR is incompetent
- Benefits leave much to be desired (only high-deductible health plans offered)
- Salary is well below industry averages (in Utah, at least)
- Ultra-conservative company culture (don't even think about asking your coworker out for drinks)
- Senior-level management is older and set in their ways

Advice to Senior Management

Give your employees feedback! Managers should have regular meetings with employees to determine job satisfaction. Also, management should work harder to understand Millennials and work with them in ways they enjoy.

Pros

Stable employment for the most part

Cons

Very subjective in employee treatment

Pros

Flexibility in work schedules is nice.

Cons

Benefits package is not competitive

Advice to Senior Management

Fix the benefits package and pay a more competitive salary.
