Pros

I really liked the focus that Commerce has on employee development. They have a very good new hire training process to get their tellers certified, with an option to fast-track. They also strongly encourage ongoing training. I took a supervisor's training class that was very interesting and helpful. I was a float teller in the Wichita area, so I got to spend time in all of the local branches. Most of the branches are well run with friendly staff. They offer health benefits for full time employees. I also appreciated that management made an effort to plan ahead for float teller coverage. I was worried I'd be bounced around from branch to branch a lot, but was only pulled from one assignment to cover at another branch a few times in about 2 years. They promote from within as well.

Cons

Sales goals kept increasing over my time there, with greater consequences for failure to meet them. In a small, local branch, the pool of potential clients is small, and keeping up with the goals was tough. On the plus side, managers offered training and support for people who were struggling to meet goals.

Pros

None - the pay was well below what I was used to making.

Cons

You can include that if it’s true, but it’s safest to present it as your personal experience rather than implying a medical conclusion or making broader claims about the company. Here’s a revised version: Commerce Bank was the worst place I’ve ever worked. I came into the role with years of experience, confidence, and a strong work ethic, but I left questioning my abilities in a way I never had before. The management style I experienced was disparaging, overly critical, and unsupportive. Rather than feeling coached or developed, I felt constantly torn down. The work environment became so toxic for me that I ultimately sought therapy to cope with the anxiety I experienced surrounding work. My anxiety became severe enough that my healthcare provider increased my medication. No job should have that kind of impact on someone’s mental well-being. I recognize that others may have different experiences, but mine was one of the most damaging professional experiences of my career. I would encourage prospective employees to carefully evaluate the leadership and management culture before accepting a position, as it can make all the difference. This version clearly states your personal experience (“for me,” “I experienced”) without asserting that the company universally causes those outcomes. That makes the review both compelling and more defensible.
