Union Bank Employer Reviews

good learning enviroment
good people to work with
learned alot of different banking procedures while employed here

The two weeks of paid training accurately trained each teller to perform the exact task they would soon perform at their bank. This training provided the confidence and knowledge to start out day one with very few fears, concerns or even issues. I learned how to perform courteous customer service, how to handle large amounts of money on a daily basis – more... and how to make sure that I had a balanced cash box at closing each day. The hardest part about working at Union Bank was being able to run around and work hard on your feet all day. However, over time this became easier and with such a supportive and friendly supervisor the days I worked there flew by. – less

It has a great atmosphere, positive people to work with. The training is very well organized and instructors are always willing to answer questions.

Bank continues to not know what direction to take. Bank needs to update software and be able to compete with the larger banks

A typical day at Union Bank was generally pleasant. I learned quite a bit about microsoft excel. I liked the management. My coworkers and I were cordial. The hardest part of the job was when the computer system crashed. The most enjoyable part of the job was that it was located in San Francisco.

My career has provided me with valuable insight, opportunities, experiences and successes. Thru leveraging those factors I have continually broadened and strengthened my core competencies. My leadership capabilities have often been recognized for delivery of superior service, providing multi-million dollar contributions to the corporate bottom line, – more... successfully implementing challenging, complex and often controversial projects and earning the unrelenting support of my teams. – less

Union Bank is passionate about delivering quality customer service.

Pros – Great benefits and training programs. Flexible work/ life balance. Perfect working environment for 50+ age group.
Cons – Manager tended to micromanage. employees are expected to follow the rules and were disciplined No room for creativity and non recognition of efforts. Archaic practices are fully embraced and upper management very resistant – more... to change. Terrible work environment. Although HR and Departments claim there is career advancement, there is no possibility of vertical or horizontal movement.
If you are looking for a role that would provide insight, career advancement and in essence a challenge, this company will not fulfill.
Advice to Senior Management – Advice to Senior Management – more recognition and less micro managing. Focus on retaining team members. – less

working for Union Bank helped me in my financial money. I learned to save and help people in getting jobs

Good location. Pretty big building. Close to shopping and food.

So much opportunity to growth. Meet lots of great customer. I am very enjoy woriking there.

Working in the collections department can be very stressful yet interesting.

During the development phase, we received a lot of support and latitude. As the project matured, objectives changed and common sense solutions were disregarded, mostly due to leadership changes. The management turnover during the project and layoffs after project completion were disappointing. The development department offers good salary and benefits. – more... Management turnover causes leadership problems, shifting focus, and ultimately a loss in direction toward goals. – less

Management is focused on growing the business and creating value for customers and employees. I highly recommend working with Union Bank

A typical day will consist of carrying bags of checks to enter in their computer system. I improved in my 10 key speed by 80%. The managers are helpful. Co-workers are very nice. There is no hard part about this job. I like working on computers, even it the job is just inputting data.

Professional environment, excellent benefits. Union Bank is on it's way to becoming a top 10 bank.

Very busy, but fun place to work. Competions around the holidays to decorate your desk and have fun even though every one works hard. TV's in break room. Great people. Fast advancement if you want to grow.

A typical day at work was get in and set up work area and process same day checks and run rejects form Image processing and two hours later the rest of my co-workers will come in so we can process the rejects and balance out the first part of the shift and the second part of shift we finished the reset of the rejects. The most enjoyable part of my job – more... was finishing all work of the day and balancing out. – less

If you're goal oriented, like most banks, it's a place to be. They have great training programs. Management were very accessible and fair. Co-workers were there to do their duties and focused on what they were assigned to do. Nothing was difficult about the job and the most enjoyable part of the job was being awarded and recognized on a quarterly basis, – more... if your goals were met. – less
