Pros

While the pay is average and nothing to get excited about, the benefits are quite generous. There is a strong customer focus. I was impressed by the friendly culture. There are opportunities for personal growth if you choose to pursue them. It was surprising how many 10 year plus employees there were.

Cons

The company is very siloed and, while there is a sense of team, it doesn't seem to go beyond your own work unit. With regard to all the employees who have been there for a decade or more - in some cases, that's a problem rather than an asset.

Pros

Pros: • Great coworkers who foster a supportive team environment. • Strong commitment to community engagement and involvement. • Attractive annual bonuses and competitive quarterly compensation.

Cons

Cons: • High levels of sales pressure, which can be overwhelming at times. • Concerns about management, particularly after the hiring of former Bank of America leadership; implementation of their sales culture. • Recent changes to branch names (now referred to as Financial Banking Centers) suggest a shift towards Bank of America's practices. • Many branch managers are on performance improvement plans and face pressure to meet 100% of their goals weekly, leading to a stressful work environment. • There are reports of unethical sales practices that may require regulatory attention. Overall: BMO offers a positive work atmosphere with great benefits, but the increasing sales pressure and management issues may raise concerns for potential employees.
