No advancement and managers are lost

no flexablity on work hours
Great working experience
Senior Investigator (Former Employee) – San Francisco, CA – July 16, 2018
I worked with people who had similar work experiences as me and I felt comfortable discussing problems and ideas with them. The workplace culture was fast paced which I enjoyed because I was thoroughly aware of the subject matter.
The most enjoyable part of the job was applying my skills and work experience to the job requirements.

One of the most unusual places I have worked.
Systems Analyst- Senior Field Service Engineer (Former Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – July 5, 2018
What I loved were my customers, which were the workers and managers of the various banking departments, I knew my work, so I could usually turn the break into a fix in a reasonable amount of time to keep everyone happy. I worked as a Field Service IT Engineer so I would travel from location to location fixing teller systems and printers and computers and the branch server, which included working on the network, with the banks Network and the Network Operations Center plus communications provider to keep the bank up and operational during business hours.
Pros
I could leave early on the rare day the workload was light
Cons
Seat of the pants operation.
Contract employee with Marketing Operations
Senior Print Production Manager (Current Employee) – San Francisco, CA – July 2, 2018
There is a sense of us versus them. There's a lack of cohesion and it seems like they are always trying to find someone to blame. It's not a team environment.
It's more of a reactive than proactive approach. By the time they can agree on how to move forward, it has to be delivered immediately and things are always rushed.
Not a healthy work environment and there's a lack of management overall.

Productive place to work
Assistant Vice President (Former Employee) – Monterey Park, CA – June 29, 2018
I enjoyed going to work each day. Union Bank was a great place to learn, grow and develop new job skills. Management has always been honest and clearly communicated long-term goals to strive to be a top ten bank. The hardest part of the job was accepting the decision to reorganize business units that directly resulted in the elimination of my job.
Pros
Compensation, advancement and training opportunities.
Cons
Reorganization of business units

Not my favorite bank to work for
Universal Banker (Former Employee) – Seattle, WA – June 28, 2018
With the further reduction of staffing in the branches, it was increasingly difficult to reach the goals and quotas that was required of a banker while still making sure that the branches were functioning properly. There was very little accommodation for this, which made things increasingly stressful.
Group Think and Social Statement
Senior Portfolio Manager - Credit Strategies Group (Former Employee) – San Francisco, CA – June 26, 2018
Too many meetings, group think and reliance on consultants to blame. Hours tend to be flexible as long as your work gets done. Too many people looking to protect their turf instead of looking to move the company forward.
