Cons: Competitive Pay, but Culture Erosion
On the employee side, the compensation is highly competitive. The bank pays well above industry averages and offers a robust benefits package that looks great on paper. However, there is a growing disconnect between leadership and the workforce. While the "hard" benefits (salary, 401k, PTO) are strong, the company has largely forgotten about the "human" element of employment.
The focus has shifted heavily toward metrics even though they claim to not be a bank where sales are important, leaving little room for professional development, especially once you hit a certain point of job role within the bank, or the flexibility required in a modern workplace. It feels as though the bank believes high salaries are a substitute for a supportive culture and meaningful employee engagement.
