      I worked at Bank of America full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Very good benefits, good communication from the Corporate level. Excellent Diversity & Inclusion programs. Genuine effort by senior management to streamline and improve processes in order to make jobs and operations easier for the employees and the customers. A lot of friendly, smart people.

      Cons

      Sometimes there are challenges with communication from middle management. Typical large corporation left hand not know what the right hand is doing resulting in extra work for parties across multiple departments. A times there seems to be inequity across different departments in promotions and awarding of corporate titles.

      Advice to Management

      Ensure that all levels of management are uniformly communicating with their teams to keep everyone in the loops as much as possible. Cut down on the number of "fire drills" and last minute requests for very time intensive work that really don't add that much value to the process.

      Pros

      More plentiful for entry to midlevel positions.

      Cons

      Advanced positions/opportunities are not granted on merit or skillset. More weight is placed on who you know than what your know, and whether or not you happen to be in a highly visible area.

      Advice to Management

      Live out the values you preach. Don't ask for feedback when you have no intention of considering that feedback.

      I have been working at Bank of America (More than a year)

      Pros

      Progressive company trying to stay on the leading edge of technology and beat options for customers.

      Cons

      Employees are not considered when making decisions that have no bearing on the success of the company. Recent efforts to end the MyWork program have created a lot of dissatisfaction. It makes no sense for me to work in an office 35 miles from home with NOT ONE of my peers or direct reports. The space probably costs $1000 a month for the bank when they were paying $100 for my internet and phone bills. Additionally, I will now spend 2.5 hours PER DAY commuting. That time previously was spent working for this company that I have devoted 20 years to.

      Advice to Management

      Reach out to your top performers before making decisions that could end up with you saying goodbye to great talent, even after 20 years of employment.

      I worked at Bank of America full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Great pay, great team, freedom to do what works in order to produce results on the back end. I genuinely enjoyed the work I did, and the people I did it with.

      Cons

      BofA's countrywide acquisitions led to a lot of layoffs in their call centers, my own included. Keep wary of your workplace and how long it's been under BofA.

      Advice to Management

      The only thing I can say is that I really wish there was more support in helping to re-settle existing employees and contractors to put them into new positions when widespread layoffs are occurring in other areas.

      I worked at Bank of America full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      I worked on the mrgage side during the time of the rubber stamping crisis. The good thing about my time there was that I was exposed to a variety of projects ranging from technology to finance.

      Cons

      The negatives of my time there was the consistant reorganizations. I never had the same manager from one year to the next. The musical chairs led to low employee morale and high turnover.

      Varied workload, competitive, consensus building, great team building. Great benefits.

      Cons

      Unsure when you will be laid off and that can be unnerving.

      Give senior leaders more notice if positions are being eliminated.
