I love what I do for Valley National Bank but am looking to further my career as a Branch Manager and guide people with my knowledge and sales experience. My management style is that I am very hands on. I enjoy working with my staff and the clients.

Working at Valley National Bank is a great learning experience. I have learned to grow as an individual but now I know that it is time for me to move on and learn more. I learned management skills from my supervisors that will benefit in another company. The most enjoyable time is working as a team with my fellow co-workers the environment is very positive – more... and whenever there is a problem we fix it as a team. The hardest part is moving on there is no room for advancement and the more I learn so that I can advance there are no opportunities. With my education, skills, and ambition to learn and do more I feel I woud be a great asset to a new company. – less

the environment is pretty good, you really learn to interact with costumers, you are constantly receiving training however people like to create drama and management don't usually reward employees. Is all about upper management never for the branch employees
