Stay away from Chase... you will only find more of the same plus the employees are very versed and skilled in treachery against a fellow employees to get ahead in the Rank and Yank culture. Management encourages it by turning a blind eye.
the larger the company the more BS you have to deal with... start your own company .. might struggle for a bit but well worth the effort... I wont to jump off the ledge but dont have the nerve yet...
I was laid off for the second time with the company last year. I worked for Wells Fargo briefly, I will say in some aspects it was slightly better, but overall the same as Bank of America. The pay was comparable, however the insurance benefits weren't the best. Luckily, I found a position in a smaller company unrelated to banking that paid very well. All in all life after severance has been pretty good. Definitely stay encouraged!
The smaller the better, that's my two cents, smaller companies are like family
I understand what you are describing in the flawed PDP. We found many areas within showing high level direction and somewhere managers manipulated the results by the wording. We also found 50% did not apply to us because we did not talk to customers and we did not have ties to the functional wording (we were told to make something up to satisfy the requirement).
We did not work with real account information because we were working in a sandbox migration. Taking this discussion further the dept head confirmed the information we had could not be used for evil purposes but when security walked in when the market shifted to demand head count removal. Security said they found violations (sure violations that my asshurts from the bullshit).
All bullshit if you took it to court. BAC has killed off everyone they originally had. Look at relationships in service years from past to present tells the true story and they haze it by saying those people left on their own account is also bullshit.
All the banks have their rules but the main difference between BAC and others is BAC insists it needs to lie, mislead, command, trick, fool, manipulate, to you when using the famous
PDP (personal development plan trickery that is part of the Kool-Aid plan). This is the most childish tricked plan. The person who wrote this was an English major involved in the dark religion of Statism, witchcraft. It is useless in helping you perform your job. In-fact our manager was poor at meeting goals his manager allowed him to purchase hockey tickets and offer them at discounts to help gain a passing grade for participation with the department and help pass reviews from employees. The main use of this plan is to eliminate headcount when the market declines for services. BAC does not care about employee base. Headcount is over hired and then fired based on market conditions instead of keeping a stable internal knowledgeable work force. It is also based on if people like you, skin color and personality. If you see a PDP plan such as BAC I would run from the place of Hire because it is a fruitless challenged career path.
Any thoughts? Yes - with how poorly you write, stay put as long as you can because after your cover letter or email is sent you won't get a response.
I've heard that Wells Fargo is no better and in some areas worse than BOA
US Bank is much better I totally agree. Penny Mac is made up of old Countrywide and Bank of America people so the management mentality is the same I know several ppl who moved there, 3 yrs ago they aggressively recruited BOA staff with really great pay but not any more also they don't give annual pay increase.
Penny Mac! I know of several people that left BOA and are very happy there.
After 11 years at BAC I left... US Bank. 200% better in every aspect
