Could be so much better

Pros

Good people, nice environment, good strategy

Cons

Heavy process overhead for everything you need to do. Performance management is driven by HR - managers have almost no control over how to reward and retain their employees. Executive layer is like a college fraternity, driven by the in-crowd. Strategy is to be agile in all business processes, but the bank is so weighted down by processes and required approvals that it will never achieve its goals for agility. Merger with BB&T has cast a pall over the entire organization.

Pros

If you can meet your sales goals (and the rest of your location can too), you stand the chance to make a nice bonus. Additionally, if you have the right team it can be a great place to work. My manager intrinsically knew who would be a good fit for the culture she wanted in her branch (productive, but fun) and crafted a team that worked together brilliantly. When hiring was taken out of her hands, the new hires were terrible fits and didn't last long.

Cons

I know sales goals are made to increase, but it many regards they're becoming unattainable. That's not motivating, that's frustrating. Especially when you hear that one location is at 300% of their investment revenue goal and then it turns out their goal is 1/3rd of your location's. Also, there's a lot of new employees coming over from Wells Fargo. That's great, except they're bringing the Wells way of business with them. If you left the organization for a reason, don't bring it with you!

Pros

Their benefits are fairly competitive.

Cons

Average employees, working for average leadership, doing average work and being perfectly comfortable just being average. People are more worried about the appearance of teamwork and harmony than really tackling the tough problems at the root cause; no matter how uncomfortable.
