Pros
Made a lot of connections with good people within branches. Can purchase more vacation reducing paychecks
Cons
Lack of Pay transparency Leadership knowledge and help is not there Inconsiderate Area leaders, Region Leaders, Blended branches were the worst experience Technology sucks Slow branches don't have chance for incentive but they expect you to work long hours. If salaried they don't care how many hours you work and try to force working as long as possible. No work life balance! 2 weeks standard time off is ridiculous Staffing is horrible Leadership doesn't know how to listen for understanding Your branch can have 2 or 3 people working but they constantly bug you about the many 100's of expired calls instead of focusing on your team and clients Sales, sales, sales seem to be more important than anything No development Old school leaders Feels like a true example of modern day slavery You won't feel like you matter unless you suck up to the right people Even though BB&T had more equity in the merger it has been a Suntrust take over and Suntrust has been known to be horrible from all my years in banking. We lost Kelly King this year as CEO and got this generic, impersonal, guy and uncaring Leadership . This place is a circus where they "talk the talk" One region leader said he wasn't concerned with losing people and that attitude was the beginning of our current environment. Most leaders don't have the time to listen, there are few who care but still can't do anything about it... not a good environment. If 1 person says 1 bad thing about you they automatically believe it with no research. No trust, no support, no values although they lead every call with purpose, mission and values I'll be leaving soon. Also, if you get covid you don't get financial assistance or pay.
