California Bank & Trust Employer Reviews

Well-managed Real Estate Disbursement department. Training is learn-as-you-go, which means positions require strong, motivated, and individuals that take initiative and do not lack ambition or determination.

CBT was great on acknowledging their employees and rewarding them for a job well done. As a CSA I managed both the teller line and drive up, ordered cashed, sent out wires, and assisted the ABM with audit procedures. I was also responsible for maintaining and processing the ATM.

I LOVED MY MANAGER AND THE COMPANY. IT WAS A FUN AND WELCOMING WORK ENVIRONMENT. WOULD HAVE LOVED TO STAY!

The company looked after its employees and customer. I had the opportunity to work with such a great staff and the work experience led to opportunities for the future.

Do not I repeat do not work at this office. The management is a joke. The turnover rate is obvious die to the CSM trying to micro management everyone maybe if she had a life it wouldn't be so bad.

Work with a wonderful,friendly, motivating staff who dedicate their days to help customers in the best way possible.
I am a full time Customer Service Rep II. My day consists of cross selling core products, helping customers with basic over the counter transactions; such as, deposits, withdrawals, account inquiries, CTR's, balancing the vault and ATMs.

I was given automony to prioritize my own day, manage the non-exempt incentive plans, and reinforce sales and service techniques in meetings to retain and grow CB&Ts customer base.
What I learned was that all associates can be great sales associates if they have the right mentor or coach. Attitude is everything, willingness to learn should be a priority, – more... and in return recognition for their contributions is a must!
My co-workers were very supportive and knowledgeable, in their own field of expertise, which garnered teamwork, respect, and common goal attitude towards the "big picture".
The hardest part of the job was the economy and the fall-out of some loans - commercial underwriting seemed to allow only a small window of opportunity for business owners. APYs were too low to invest. Market values of homes were not high enough for consumers to take advantage APRs, equity, or refinancing.
The most enjoyable part of the job was how responsive associates were towards any sort acknowledgement or imparted knowledge to help them obtain sales and service goals! – less

A typical day at work would be assisting customers and non-customers with cash transactions, deposits, withdrawals and payments to loans or credit cards.

I have learned California Bank & Trust's policy and procedures on handling transactions, which is usually different at other financial institutions.

Management is really positive and appreciative – more... for all of our hard work throughout every day.

The hardest part of my job is when management would like to place a hold on a deposit for my customer. I feel that is very difficult to tell my customer that he or she cannot use their funds for up to 7 business days because we have to place a hold on the funds until the check clears.

What I love about my job the most is interaction with all of my customers that come into the bank on a regular basis. I enjoy working with people and getting to know them and about their business. With this being said I love helping my customers by suggesting products and services that could really help their business or personal finances. – less

Great mid-level and senior management with open-door policies, lots of employee building events in and out of the office. Positive company culture with excellent HR staff.

This Bank is seriously the most professional bank i have ever seen. everyone is extremely well trained.

Working for this company was an amazing experience. Professional through out all levels of employees, and a friendly atmosphere. The best of working for a large company, as well as the closeness of a small company.
