M&T Bank Reviews

Pros

Great company and work environment

Cons

Not a lot of room to grow

People, flexibility, PTO, benefits, community involvement, pay

Cons

Can be a boys club, some areas still very hierarchy, very hard to progress in business, diversity is more talk then action

Cons

- hard to get an adequate raise

Pros

Lots of vacation time and even sometimes encouraging employees to use it Friendly people and environment Convenient work from home options Satisfactory benefits

Cons

I can not understate this, but M&T has hands down without a doubt the WORST, LEAST FUNCTIONAL software and employee tools I have EVER SEEN. None of the websites and tools for employees to use for their work are even close to acceptably useable. There are constant load issues, 100 different locations that will all sound the same but are completely different, ridiculously arbitrary and unnecessary busywork that will have you doing the same task in 5 different spots, and on top of all that, the main site that both employees and clients rely on just completely crashes and fails MULTIPLE TIMES PER MONTH, with the only solution ever brought up being to essentially turn the site on and off again by resetting our servers and praying it works, without ever actually fixing anything and only delaying the inevitable future crash. The amount of times you’ll get a customer calling and complaining about the fact that ‘your website is terrible’ or ‘this is the worst/most confusing site i have ever used.’ Nothing about the main site is simple or intuitive, either, and the needless complexity of activating/ deactivating is so poorly executed that it is laughable. M&T is a 10 billion dollar bank, but for some unknown reason can’t make a website or software that works for more than a week.

Pros

Good Benefits. M&T is in the process of changing the way the company works and this change seems to be a good thing. They have the most helpful IT help desk out of any company I have ever spoken to.

Cons

The culture was terrible. When I was interviewing all the employees I spoke to said the culture was amazing. But there was no work life balance. One example of this was when senior management said take it easy because of the holidays my direct manager would make work up and keep people going to the point of burn out. Also no matter the issue everything was an escalation causing more stress then it was worth. In general the people are the biggest issues.

Pros

Great work environment a lot of growth

Cons

Staffing issues always everyday problem

Not a strict work environment
