Bank OZK Reviews

Pros

I recently began the next chapter of my banking career at Bank OZK and it has been a wonderful experience! The HR representative was very efficient in guiding me through the onboarding process. I office remotely and the IT team has been very helpful in getting my technology set up. My new co-workers have been very welcoming!

Cons

I would still consider myself to be a "newbie" so, there are no cons to report at this time. My experience has been great!

Pros

You meet some genuinely great people

Cons

I could write 10 novels

Advice to Management

Stop ignoring employees who go to HR because certain managers play favorites and make your life miserable. Just because a manager has been there for years, doesn't mean they're good or fair.

Pros

Hours Vacation and sick pay Paid holidays

Cons

Worked with this company full-time for 4 years. Manager pushed every single bit of work on to subordinates and took credit for the work. When 100% of tasks are given to your subordinates, that no longer constitutes as “delegating”. Was often asked to complete a task but supervisor wanted it done in a system/program using their login credentials to make it look like they were the ones actually doing the work. Only gave...

Advice to Management

My advice would be to implement a 360 evaluation system where employees have the opportunity to express their views on their manager’s performance instead of only having direct supervisors evaluate managers. Once you reach a certain level, most managers do not work directly with their subordinates on a daily basis and have NO IDEA on how their performance really is. When people are good actors/actresses, they can easily...

Pros

Great branch management 401k matching Vacation and sick time

Cons

No advancement, alot of outside hiring makes it harder to advance within the company.

Advice to Management

Offer more opportunities for advancements within the company.

Pros

Good people Steady hours Good benefits

Cons

No room for growth Favoritism

Pros

No quotas for new accounts. Closed on Saturday (my branch)

Cons

The pay is embarrassing. The managers are a joke. They don't talk to you, they talk at you, very unprofessional. They don't ask you to do anything, they tell you in a demanding way. There is NO room for advancement, no matter what they tell you. If you are a single parent, this is not the job for you. The managers at my branch could care less if anything happens to my kids. If you want a day off, again, good luck with...

Advice to Management

Respect your employees, and pay them a living wage! Allow parents to be parents.

Pros

Wage is ok for area. No weekend work in most areas.

Cons

Favoritism, lack of communication, high deductible insurance with no co-pay. Bullying from some managers and no consequences for actions.

Advice to Management

Can’t run operations efficiently only being present twice a week. Cut the favoritism and quit letting certain people get away with inappropriate relationships and other things they should not be doing. Listen.

Pros

Interesting and challenging projects on paper. Higher Base pay relatively.

Cons

Absolute horrific micromanagement culture. Nobody from top to bottom has any idea what they want to achieve and why. All are clueless and they present you a complete project to do all alone without any guidance or sense of direction. All this while you get questioned for every small thing you do and you spend most of your time spoon feeding the skill less managers/directors on how we are doing things. Majority of projects...

Advice to Management

Start hiring right people at upper level, insecurity at higher levels creep up to micromanaging people which nobody likes.
