      I have been working at City National Bank full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Great place to work and grow! Everyone I have encountered has been here ATLEAST 3-25 years. They also continue to stay!!!!! Wonderful, Wonderful environment. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. I have been here for about four months and have been loving the learning experience. This is one of the best bank's to work for in DTLA! Everything is very efficient and modern. They have great perks, and lunch+learns, HR, and assistance if you ever need anything. I recommended it to all my colleagues.

      Pay is also very competitive, more so than other banks!!!!!

      Cons

      Have to pay for parking
      Parking lot is about 1 block away from building (5-8 minute walk)

      Advice to Management

      Great place!!! Keep up the good culture, and attitude. Everyone is really happy here.

      I have been working at City National Bank full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Benefits are the same as anywhere else. Medical insurance is with Cigna and they offer 3 different price options. No STD! Shocking. Maternity leave is the 12 unpaid weeks allowed by Fed and you can use your vacation. Upper managements seems to like micromanagement but overall it hasnt been bad. There some flex when it comes to work schedule.

      Cons

      Micromanagement, no short term disability.

      I have been working at City National Bank full-time

      Pros

      Friendly atmosphere, decent pay and minor incentives, good benefits, good retirement, overall a great long-term company to work for.

      Cons

      upper management lacks communication for future plans with employees, employee favoritism, too many "cooks in the kitchen", lack of understanding of employee needs.

      Advice to Management

      Talk to your teams and your employees. Find out what will help them to do their job and be more effecient. Support your employees and build trust in them so they build trust in you. Just making decisions and telling everyone what they have to do now brings down moral, trust, and motivation to support your decisions and the company.

      Pros

      On-site cafeteria area in the building.

      Cons

      New management in Residential Lending department is HORRIBLE. (Old management was horrible as well and a lot of them were fired when new management came in). They don't care about the well-being of people, and are instead focused on numbers and quotas. Very cliquish- management and employees within the department included. Under-qualified people in almost every position. Getting cozy with management gets promotions (that existed prior to new management and has continued). The pay is less than average in the industry when you consider that there was no incentive rewards for high production and hard work.

      Advice to Management

      Learn how to manage people, not just processes.
