Bank of America Dallas Reviews

Cons

There are some great managers but you can also get those horrible ones.. And is really hard to advance really competitive

Cons

Some of the managers are in it for themselves.

Cons

You need to be able to hit the ground running even though online training and thourough introductions are given. If you are not a self directed/ structured kind of person, or can’t figure things out for yourself, you’ll have to do this here and you may not do well. You are paid very fairly for your talent but be prepared to put in the long hours if you’re salaried/exempt.

Cons

Direct managers over the branch level *district or market managers* all manage in fear for their jobs, and they cultivate that atmosphere of fear to the branch employees. It is 100% about "what have you done for me lately" and in my experience was NEVER about seeing positive trends and long term improvement. If an accomplishment was acknowledged at all, it was a brief 10 second bunching together on a conference call, and there was never genuine personalized thanks. If a mistake occurred, we heard about it for weeks, if not months in every email, in huddle material, on conference calls... Very negative reinforcement oriented. The recruiters lure you in with potential bonuses as though they are on top of the base, but after a solid year, I saw they were part of the amount quoted as the base salary. Oh, and salary means "55-65" hours even if you can manage everything within 45-48 hours (which is what they say you'll work tops). True days off during the week other than Sundays are unrealistic. Since we are expected to work every single Saturday of the year (half day), we were told we can have a half day off during the week... This is impossible under the constantly under staffed branch and market conditions that I saw for over 2 years solid. Market management seems to only go around putting out fires, and NEVER have enough staff to float or in an HR pipeline to fill vacancies. And don't recommend promotion of someone you depend on, because they will take them right out of your location to promote them. Not a chance the person you counted on gets to move up "in place" and continue helping your team. They make it so hard to have any consistency, and make it hard to truly know clients, or for clients to know the staff. People want more than ATMs and an app.

Cons

Couldn’t get a higher promotion because I was already maxed out, haven’t gotten a raised in couple of years. But it’s all good, worked overtime in other departments that was my pay raise!!! It’s awesome that you’re able to work in a different department if they offer overtime.

Cons

Same as above same as above same as above same as abovesame as above same as above same as above

Cons

No learning space, just beating behind the bush, resources are not effectively utilized, frequent layoff's, poor management.

Cons

Very large and hard to get noticed, constant organizational changes

Cons

Middle and upper management aren't concerned with quality of work, process improvement or for that matter anything that has to do with actual work progress. They are heavily metric driven, not highly organized and innovation is stifled due to trickle down management goals and metrics.

Cons

Office politics restrict growth opportunity in some departments. Best advancement opportunity is to move out of your existing business area.
