United Bank Employer Reviews

Poor pay, job advancement based on relation to upper management or appearance instead of skill, high turn over, poor executive decisions, outdated corporate environment, lack of resources, and very stressful high tension environment with some co-workers. Do not waste your time here.

I loved the work, the people, the customers, and the environment. I was highly disappointed when I was forced to discontinue employment due to personal outside conflicts. Would definitely go back to this Company.

I was really looking forward to working for this company and starting what I had hoped would turn into a life long career. United gave me the worst first impression I have ever had of a job. Between the disorganization and having managment talk to me like I was four, I was very underwhelmed. After only working there for two months, I knew I needed to – more... find somewhere else to buile a career. The final straw was when a co-worker was promoted because she was pretty (very nice and very promising as an employee, but still pretty) after only having worked there for two weeks...the worst part, they made no attempt to hide the fact that her promotion was due to looks. Not impressed at all. – less

Great hours and holidays paid off. Sick time plus vacation time immediately.

A typical day included interaction with new and existing customers, solving and prevention of banking and financial matters. Opening accounts, quoting rates, taking applications, everyday presented new sets of challenges. Managements choice for leadership within indivdual branches proved to be based upon favoritism rather than merit. My co-workers demonstrated – more... proffessional attitudes towards job duties, with the exception of the team leader who felt exempt due to multiple years of service. The hardest part of the job was keeping up with the constantly changing Federal guidelines in the wake of a weakened banking system. The most enjoyable part of the job was the opportunity to build the interpersonal relationships with customers that provided a sense of goodwill and friendship. – less

A solid company with excellent co-workers, who were great teachers. I enjoyed working there and only left for personal reasons.

Working with UBL bank was a great exp.
I learn a lot from my seniors, about the bank operations, customer services, audit procedures, public dealing, trouble shooting, team work, helping co workers in achieving organization's goals.
worked there around 2 years. over all that was fun.

United Bank is a great company with great benefits, ability for professional growth, and intelligent/friendly co-workers.

Great place to gain experience in an financial setting. Great training.

Overall it was a good place to work. Company is at a crossroads and it will be interesting to see if management has a clear vision and can get everyone on the same page.

A typical day at work includes but is not limited to answering the phone, helping customers in multiple ways and supporting co-workers. I have learned how to pace myself and not try to do everything at once which can cause anyone to get too stressed out at their job. Management could use some better communications skills but they mean well. The hardest – more... part of my job is balancing many jobs that should be taken care of by at least one or two more people. The most enjoyable part of the job is when I can help a customer accomplish something they would not have been able to do on their own. – less

While working for the bank, I have sharpened my communication and leadership skills. I love my co-workers because the variety of personalities makes the days enjoyable. The hardest part of the job is the stress of dealing with everyone's finances. However, the most enjoyable part of the job is the customer interaction and the satisfaction of helping – more... them on a daily basis. – less

United Bank was very busy, especially around lunch time. I enjoyed getting to know customers and interacting with all types of people on a regular basis. There was never a dull moment. I had really friendly customers and really hateful ones but its expected when you deal with money. The hardest part of my job was trying to greet customer at the same – more... time I was trying to get them to set a new account and invest their money. I was required to get so many new accounts and brokerage accounts a month, we were evaluated on it every month. – less

I managed Note Collections, Bonds, Foreign Currency, Safe Deposit Boxes, Reports, and Sales and Service.

First thing in the morning, I would come in and get everything situated for the day. I would set everything in order of importance. I would then open my email, as this was my means of retrieving wires that need to be sent out. I would then manage the in and out wires that needed to be taken care of for the day. I learned how to process wires promptly – more... and successfully, paying close attention to all details. I learned how to maintain specific general ledger accounts, how to balance and reconcile them for month end. I enjoyed working with my coworkers, we worked as a team. One of the hardest parts of the job was when the system slowed down, as it would back up the wires that needed to come in and out. I most enjoyed the coworkers, as we were able to all become friends, and work well together. – less

Excellent bank with good culture. This bank was purchased by Citibank then by Norwest. It is now part of Wells Fargo.

micro management of daily task, management hired me to bring in large loans but lacked the determination to act. bank was placed on the watch list by FDIC

A typical day at work consisted of greeting customers and processing transactions. I learned how to do all of the duties of a bank teller, and the training was fairly good. Management was good, and they worked well with me. My co-workers were nice, for the most part. The hardest part of the job is when you have an upset customer, but most problems were – more... resolved easily. The most enjoyable part of the job was balancing and the mathematical parts of it. – less

Customer contact , loan applications.
Checking closing dates and title companies for accurate paperwork.
Could work with any personality.

Work shifts were 10-8, so we were open late. I learned better customer service skills and how to better handle a difficult situation. Management was nice and always willing to work with you in case of emergency situations. the co-workers were easy to get along with and easy to have fun with. The most difficult part was the late hours when things needed – more... to be done at home. The most enjoyable was the customers. i love meeting new people so it was a lot of fun. – less
