Pros

Educational reimbursement programs, front line staff.

Cons

I witnessed toxic culture, favoritism towards “friends”, and a lack of team focus from leaders - too much time spent putting out fires. My leader met with me 1:1 once annually, and spent the rest of the year in a closed office. Poor record keeping resulted in the organization hiring an individual that was previously terminated from an acquired organization for sexual harassment.

Pros

The orientation process at OceanFirst Bank was exceptionally well executed. It created a welcoming, non-intimidating environment where interns were introduced to the company’s culture and daily operations. Senior leaders—including the CEO, treasurer, and other top executives—took the time to speak about their roles and their contributions to fostering that culture. Interns were also given valuable opportunities to network and connect with one another. Overall, the experience was both engaging and highly enjoyable.

Cons

There were no cons in this experience.
