      I have been working at Commerce Bank full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Upward mobility ! There are people who get hired and within 3 months are promoted to management . This is great because most people think that you can’t move in banking, well commerce changed that . I love that you can really develop your career here with a great team to support you

      Cons

      No cons we have recently changed the way we do banking making everyone universal so just because someone is a manager, it doesn’t mean they won’t be on the teller line or opening accounts . Everyone shares the same responsibilities no matter what level they are in the organization.

      Advice to Management

      Keep up the good work

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

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits for non-entry level positions

      Cons

      Politics over people. Yes men over thinkers. No room for advancement unless you want to kiss up and play the game. Very superficial. Management has no backbone. Slow to make decisions. What decisions are made can easily be changed based off a change in politics. Concerned about appearances. Company brags about how great they are doing, but offers raises that are a slap in the face. They promote people who will play the game, not do what is right.

      Advice to Management

      Maybe try practicing what you preach?? Do what’s right, not what’s easy. Make a decision and stick to it.

      I have been working at Commerce Bank full-time

      Pros

      time off is earned per pay period , you are paid current meaning if you start on the second week of payroll, you'd expect to get half of a paycheck, nope! youll get a full paycheck, its almost like they assume you are going to work the next week, no they dont take it back if you didnt work the full week.

      Cons

      employees arent embracing the universal change
