Pros
Good place to start a banking career. Wide network nation wide, as well as presents opportunities in Australia
Cons
Management was stiff. Do no promote from within employees tend to move a lot horizontally rather than vertically. Low pay in comparison with other banks.
Advice to Management
Focus on the work environment a bit rather than just the customer side. Employees need to be kept happy and motivated and this begins with management.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at ASB Bank full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Was able to work independently in a Branch environment. Learnt heaps, and was great to set up a network of clients. Able to meet most targets, and gain incentives.
Cons
Extremely hard to get a good raise especially when the culture seems to revolve around targets only. Even when one KPI is exceeded by a mile and a half, it still doesn't matter. Managers do not seem to be able to see the bigger picture, and relationship with clients is secondary to selling of products.
Advice to Management
Focus on relationship building and look at the bigger picture. I worked at a much bigger bank before ASB, and still, the branch manager at the time thought he knew it all.

Pros
Really care about what they do. Reminds me of a San Francisco start-up in its setup (floating desks, relaxed)
Cons
Not the cut-throat City environment, but relax and listen and you will see that you can still learn a lot.
Advice to Management
Keep focussing on your values. It works.

Pros
Open plan office works well. Colleagues are generally friendly. Technology is reasonably good.
Cons
Senior management encourages consistently long hours, without compensation or time back - this often goes unappreciated and is expected. High staff turnover and uneven work split due to this. Senior management is not approachable or open to ideas, despite the bank promoting innovation.
Advice to Management
Treat your staff better, the excessively high staff turnover is evidence of the environment they are working in.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at ASB Bank full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
People work hard and are friendly and professional. Parts other than accounting group look good to work in.
Cons
Management encourages overtime and overwork due to staffing levels. High level of corporate politics.
Advice to Management
Efficiency only gets you so far. Be more considerate of staff and culture. Hopefully it has improved since 2015 but doubt it.
