Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland Reviews

Cons

Can sometimes get a bit bureaucratic

Cons

Over recent years it has become a more stressful and difficult place to work due to uncertainties regarding the direction the company is going.

Cons

Unqualified management. Uninspiring management. Does not reward high performers. Uneven standards depending on which manager you are under. Leads to animosity amoung staff because career progression decisions are made based upon politics and not performance.

Cons

Stuck in old ways at times but it is getting much better.

Cons

Under resourced
No direction
Decision making process is unclear, slow
No real goals to point to in decision making
Management roles are given to those who want the status rather than leaders who can change and influence
Stuck in antiquated methodologies and thinking
Way too much consensus seeking
Priorities change drastically without reason or notice
Objectives seem to be set from a personal perspective (this will get me a bonus, raise or promoted) instead of what will best benefit the organization, product or service
Working with antiquated technologies
Getting non-Microsoft software takes an act of congress

Cons

f you like a very negative and immature work culture where the managers bully people and have no self respect, this place is for you! If you are smart, professional and enjoy working with like-minded people, run, this place is not for you, . The environment is very unique and takes a very special person to accept it. If you have a better option or alternative, take it. Leadership is abrupt, rude and unprofessional. Diversity is only a look. Different thinkers are the nail that meets the hammer. I have never seen a more highly educated group exhibiting such sociopathic tendencies. You should be concerned about going to work for a company that deliberately hides data in which their past, current, and potential employees call out their negative patterns.

Cons

Abusive and unqualified management
Zero growth, only replacing retiring employees
Ancient processes and technology
Managers constantly looking for someone to blame
Expensive parking and cafeteria
Micromanagement
Really depressing environment, everyone scared to talk to each other

Cons

Some work can require a lot of documentation

Cons

Punitive call off policies. Rolling calender used for sick time. Incompetent, nepotistic management. Corporate policy of passing the buck and circling the wagons. Low pay.

Cons

Decision making is very slow and onerous. Although it is a good place to work if you are risk adverse, I would not recommend if you are very ambitious and are looking to move through the ranks quickly. Innovation is not rewarded.
