Woodforest Bank Employer Reviews

Friendly customers and staff, would recommend this place to anyone

Not sure how they compare to other banks. No outside marketing, all marketing is done out of store front for Walmart customers.

I like everyone, I like everyone I work with
good benefits
good pay
good insurance
good 401k

Pay is very low. There is not alot of opportunity to move up. Customer service, processing transactions, temporary checks, key on and revise stop payments, heavy cash handling, balancing vault, Western Unions, Receive TTL payments, Open accounts, and Data entry, and high call volume experience,

The Branch manager harassment me and other co worker and he still working there, HR is a joke

Working the teller line, (i.e. deposits, withrdrawals). Going out to talk to the public to sell products of Woodforest National Bank by passing out brochures and promotional items. Opening accounts, and figuring out customers if they would have any problems arise. Woodforest National Bank is open seven days a week, with extended hours. There are five – more... of us ladies that work together as a team to meet our monthly goal of account acquisition. – less

GOOD COMPANY OVERALL , I LEFT THIS COMPANY WITH THE INTENTION OF MOVING OUT OF STATE WHERE THIS COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE ANY LOCATIONS

If you desire a career in banking and work for a company with integrity; DO NOT apply with this company! I witnessed unethical practices and labor laws being broken. The person that reported labor law being broken was mysteriously terminated.

Laid back work environment, loved working with the customers, learned a lot of the banking industry and confidentiality.

This is an 7 day a week bank so don't expect much work life balance. Most branches are understaffed which adds to your workload and expectations. Don't look to make a career here as Branch Manager is the highest that you can shoot to achieve.

I am not one to pubicly blast a company for harboring harrassment in the workplace, nor will I. I will say that this company has failed in its treatment and care for their employees. The worst company I have ever worked for. Human Resources is a joke, and this company is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I spent more time with my co-workers than with my own family. God forbid you have kids that are sick, you are expected to be there reguardless if you have a sick child.

A typical work day is keeping a low cash drawer with maybe 40 transactions a day. But you have to greet people who walk past and beg them to open a new checking account.

This bank does not have normal banking hours open 9 am to 9 pm. Which is great for customers. I assisted with special promotions to obtain and keep customers. Handled large amounts of cash. Assisted customers with balancing their registers and educated them in the proper way to maintain a bank account. Verified checks and adhered to the Patriot Act – more... by screening new customers with software available. Assisted with collections and addressing issues as they came up usually involving bad checks. I enjoyed working with the different types of personalities involved with the job. – less

Very competitive on a daily basis. High, sometimes unrealistic monthly account goals.

Woodforest itself is a good company to work for. I am just unhappy with the way my particular branch is run.

data entry, customer service, attention to detail, ordering, works well with others.

Poor management and that makes the job difficult. A branch is a reflection of its leadership

Company is sales focus. Therefore your branch has to be focus on marketing at all times. If you fail to market and meet your numbers disciplinary actions can and will be taken.

Checking accounts are not a necessity and can not be easily marketing to those that are not looking for that second chance.

There is no work life balance with Woodforest, each – more... branch is staffed with minimal employees. Which results schedule conflicts for life family events or illness. Salary and hourly are not given a choice to provide coverage during these times, and when called upon at last minute do not tell this company no you can not cover.

Overall would not recommend. – less

Learn a lot about banks that i didnt know. customer range from nice to mean. it takes a lot to learn everything about it. i would recommend everyone work at a bank
