Horrible
Vice President (Former Employee), Beverly Hills, CA – May 7, 2013
An organization that has little respect for people who are not on the revenue side of the business. Power configured on outdated management model: top heavy, gender and class specific. Very uninspiring place to work if you are not managing a book of business.

I really enjoyed my coworkers and working in the shadow of Tiger Stadium.
Credit Analyst (Former Employee), Detroit, MI – March 26, 2013
I reviewed applications for credit for MC and Visa and American Express. There was a small department who checked credit reports and references for applicants. We then passed this information on to the next level for acceptance or denial.

A small town local bank where they know their neighbors and love to fish!
Credit Analyst (Former Employee), Detroit, MI – March 26, 2013
After college, looking for a full time job I was offered a position as a teller and with my husband a full time student I grabbed it. They gave on the job training and I enjoyed learning and servicing the customers on the shores of the North Atlantic.

Great Benefits
Investment and Trust Consultant (Former Employee), Beverly Hills, CA – March 11, 2013
This was a great company to work for, until there was a shake up in management. Prior to that, it was never a job, it was a fun place to work. It eventually became a political nightmare.

Will not recommend this place
Loan Processor (Former Employee), Los Angeles, CA – January 15, 2013
Pros: few good people in management and some in non management
Cons: "click" setting, favoritism is at highest, watch your back
unprofessional work place with highest concentration of back stabbing people causing problems for others hard working people.
If you are liked promotions will happen though knowledge is lacking.

Overall rating 2 stars
Trust Administrative Officer (Former Employee), Los Angeles, CA – January 7, 2013
Pros: most people were friendly and easy to get along with.
Cons: reserved comments.
Overall, the company offers great opportunities (if you are liked). Most of the employees are friendly and helpful. I was always busy, but I can't say that I learned anything new, as I transferred from another institution and came with 21 years of experience and was performing the same type of job. There was no one thing particularly hard about my job. – more... The most enjoyable was my co-workers. Management needs improvement or to be replaced altogether. – less

Personal Banker II (Current Employee), Lewisburg, WV – December 5, 2012
Typical day includes assisting current customers with any banking concern they may have and recruiting new customers. I enjoy working and helping others in any way I can. I always try to go above and beyond what is expected of me.

Back-stabbing middle management with no soul.
Residential Lending Officer (Current Employee), Los Angeles – December 4, 2012
Pros: non-management folks friendly with some friendly management folks scattered in.
Cons: never trust management here, they're never on your side. watch your back.
Watch your back at all times if you take a position here. Avoid this place and keep looking is the best advice I can offer. Pay is low-end and you'll forget how to spell bonus. High stress.

Very annoying
Central Cash Vault Teller (Former Employee), Los Angeles, CA – November 15, 2012
Pros: easy work good pay
Cons: short breaks short lunches and only get the holidays off that the federal reserve is closed.
this is a great bank and the job is well worth the money but it get really boring there is no social networking involved at this bank. the other thing is its a bank and no job is secured at a bank no matter what your boss says. the bank takes a hit and the first expense they cut back on is their employees. the employee is never safe

Great company to work for, comforable environment.
Debit Card Specialist/ Fraud Investigator (Former Employee), Lawton, OK – November 15, 2012
Pros: free checking, flexible time off, calm atmosphere.
Cons: low pay, constant employee turnover.
I ensured customer was in possession of a working debit card at all times; promptly fixing issues so his or her card would work. Processed fraud complaints and monitored fraud software via Fiserv/Visa.
I learned fraud can happen anywhere at any time through no fault of the card holder. Compassion and understanding during a difficult time helps the situation – more... stay calm.
I worked with the best group of people here; a fun but respectful atmosphere.
Hardest part of the job would be coming to the conclusion a customer had lied about fraud, and they were in fact the person responsible for the charges.
The most enjoyable part of City National would be the flexibility; management understanding outside function with child. – less

Data Entry Processor (Former Employee), Alameda, CA – September 17, 2012
Pros: able to eat lunch at lunch time
Use to enjoy working for this company. coworkers were team players, not much to say about management, I learned when there's an error made, management will not stand behind you.
