Good training, and guidance from management

Cons

none that are specifiable at this time

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...

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.

Cons

The legacy Countrywide division of Bank of America (BPG) is an absolute sweatshop! They micromanage to the absolutes extreme, the workloads are very excessive, deadlines are unrealistic, and they constantly bug you for status updates. Management expects associates to work late nights, weekends and even on your vacations and holidays. And you get nothing in return for your hard work (except more work of course). Raises...

Advice to Management

Start appreciating the efforts of you associates (or even knowing who they are - they have names and faces, not just employee numbers). You have a lot of very talented people working for you that are working extremely hard for not recognition or incentive. Also, hire more people and stop abusing your employees by working them to death and burning them out!
