      I have been working at ATB Financial full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      A very value driven company, it lets us be the decision makers in creating value and helping our customers. ATB will look through every avenue before saying no to the client. As a leader I know there is so much personal development and support given to me to be better and ask the right questions.

      Cons

      not really a con, but hopefully in future we could choose where we worked from, even if it was out of the province and/or country.
      FIX the SAP, there needs to be some upgrades, it crashing all the time etc. is a hindrance for us to provide amazing customer experience.

      Advice to Management

      continue to drive the way you are, there is a reason we all work for ATB. Re-imagine the scorecard (RFS) so it is only based on CAI and CRI. A lot of the time no one wants to do "service work" as it doesn't get them units/revenue. I think by taking that away, everyone then delivers more towards the customer obsessed environment, and there is no more of having to find the one PB that will take accountability and help the customer.

    3. "A bit too much koolaid"

      StarStarStarStarStar

      Former Employee - Anonymous Employee

      I worked at ATB Financial full-time

      Pros

      Flexibility, friendly environment, progressive leadership

      Cons

      Lots of wasted time and money with daily changes to important decisions. Makes it hard to get any forward momentum.

      Advice to Management

      Read the book "Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble". Tone it down with all the koolaid talk. Feels like there's a lot of big talk but no substance.

      Great place to work, they are people focused, customers and staff.

      Cons

      Training is a little haphazard.

      Pros

      You will never be bored. ATB is constantly changing/transforming. This can get frustrating when you are enjoying your role, however it is great if you get bored or frustrated. ATB tends to value people who think outside the box and are eager to contribute.

      Overall it is a great place to work and I highly recommend it. Just be sure to have a positive attitude and be ready for change!

      Cons

      If you prefer a stable job, with stable goals and to have a set job description this isn’t a place for you. ATB values contribution from their employees, but also tends to be quick to show you the door if you aren’t eager to change.

      Advice to Management

      Transformation/change is great, however Project teams and Managers tend to over use/miss-use “agile”, “reimagine”, and “transform” as justification to do whatever they want and disrupt other teams in the process. This is contributing to some transformational burnout from team members who have been constantly directly impacted.

Want a great place to be? It's ATB. Want to work hard and use your talent to do great things? It's ATB.

      Cons

      I worked at ATB Financial full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Work from home option is available.

      Cons

      Terrible leader who didn’t understand the roles on the team and what it takes to be successful. Leader did nothing to help improve performance, and took a “figure it out yourself” approach to all performance problems. Lots of talk about culture, but no action.

      Advice to Management

      Be more upfront and honest
