Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros
Good work/life balance , which is why I gave 1 star
Cons
Where do I start... The pay is terrible. You can get paid a higher hourly wage if you work at a fast food restaurant or a retail store for entry level positions. They don't want their own employees to have better opportunities or grow within their company. They'll give you a "courtesy" interview if you try to move internally within the company, but getting hired is a completely different story. They don't see it as advantageous to hire within, and rather waste time/money on external candidates. I love how their buzz words for 2021 is "diversity, equality, and inclusion". First of all, many of the leadership roles are held by old, white men. Walk down the halls in the corporate office, and I'm sure you'll find a bunch of white men sitting in their offices. One question I would love to have answered is if you really believe in diversity, equality, and inclusion, why have ever single one of your Presidents and CEOs been old, white men since being founded in 1855?

Pros
There are many great people who work in the branches. Most branch colleagues are supportive and provide help when needed. The company is good about respecting a fair work life balance as well as there are understanding if a personal need arises. Dollar Bank has a good training department and provides a solid basic foundation in banking operations.
Cons
There is not any communication between departments and no consistancy in getting the correct answer to policies and operations. Qualified women are consistantly passed up for advancement by men. There are few opportunities for career growth and advancement between departments. Dollar Bank is a good entry level bank to learn the basics but it is not a good move for a career women who is looking to stay and grow with the company.

Pros
Great work/life balance Management is behind on work
Cons
Low pay and not that much of a raise
- 3.0Feb 28, 2017Anonymous EmployeeCurrent Employee
Pros
Most people are very kind. High employee retention rate - a good number of people have been with the bank upwards of 15 - 20 years. Great place to start off and learn. For the most part there is an above average work life balance.
Cons
Slow to change and struggles to keep up with technology. Salaries are lower than industry average, but is made up for with job security. Career growth is definitely possible but it does take time and a lot of patience.

Technology is antiquated though major changes are happening so this is a bit neutral.
