Advice to Management

Terrible place to work. Corporate is so disconnected from the day-to-day goings on inside their Financial Centers that basic customer needs get neglected. On my last day, a conversation between a Relationship Banker and Operations Manager resulted in them both deciding to be unavailable for a customer, who just needed a temporary debit card, because that customer would have had to be put "in session" and therefore would receive a survey of their satisfaction of the Financial Center. Both the RB & OM agreed that this should be avoided because they speculated that this individual, already dissatisfied with BoA, would provide low scores, resulting in the overall branch being adversely effected; they could not afford that low survey score. Gross. To be fair, they were probably right. Bank of America visits are often worse than the stereotype of visiting the DMV; worse even, because at least at the DMV you can take a number and have a seat. There was a time an old man actually fell down and hit his head because he was standing in line waiting so long. An ambulance took him to the hospital.

Upper management has no clue they are nurturing an environment in which simple needs and requests go neglected in fear of low satisfaction scores; and if they do know this, shame on them. They either don't know, or don't care that, customer wait times alone result in poor satisfaction scoring which hit banks hard spawning a neglectful & paranoid environment. Also, things like where to route which questions from clients was not part of training, and not knowing simple things like that makes an enormous difference. Instead, training is a prolonged period (a few weeks to over a month) of just sitting, starting at documents, of which, less than 20% have anything to do with how to successfully fulfill the daily duties of the job.

Working here, I was harassed & verbally abused by customers (out of their frustration with BoA), and bullied by my co-workers. The pressure that everyone is under made them extremely impatient. I was a newcomer who barely understood up from down in that place, and they demanded that I be faster. Take care of the customers faster, complete closing procedures faster, go on my break "right now, this instant! or else I won't get one". You would think a simple solution would be to have breaks & lunches scheduled. But simple solutions don't get implemented in this place because everyone there barely makes it through the day, every day, because they are not staffed to thrive. They are staffed to barely complete the bare minimum of tasks required to get through the day. There are many occasions in which my FCOM looked as if she would literally pin out her own hair because she was so stressed.

I would urge management to properly staff the FCs appropriately. I would never work here again. It was the worst job I've ever had.
