Pros

Providing customers with solutions and great service. Some of the people are great when you get to know them. Excellent career opportunities

Cons

Majority of the team leaders are just awful bullies who look down on you from their high horse. Hiring managers who know very little to no banking experience make it hard for staff to approach them for answers. Very cliquey place to work in. Being promoted is about who you know not what you know. Housemates who live together, work together, sleep together, bully together.The culture is vile. Constant restructure, four team leaders in one year. Separating the "specialist teams" from the rest. No acknowledgment for efforts. No wonder such a high turnover. Culture up there needs to change! Get rid of the toxicity..unhappy staff = unhappy customer experience.

Pros

- Flexible working - Office location in the city is good

Cons

- I didn't pass my KPIs because I have depression. Completely true, this translated to a "sometimes meets" the Bankwest Values of which includes having a positive outlook. - Bullying in the workplace is totally ok if you do it with a smile. - Onus is put on the victims to try resolve it. - Rewards are not there for doing your job well. - Workplace politics are the only way ahead. Its a hard ingrained culture. - Managers don't know what's going on, there's no focus on material things - Below standard pay
