Loved working there. Manager was great. Work life balance was decent. No weekends. Very relaxed environment. Loved all the customers. Would probably still be there if I hadn’t moved.

Relationship Manager (Former Employee) - 350 California St., San Francisco CA 94132 - May 27, 2022

The supervisor has favorites and these are only people they think of for promotion.Never had a chance to attend in person training since 2000.Newbies were not given new roles. Everything was given to the veteran workers.Lack of Management training and experience.No regard and respect to those who worked longer.

Productive fun environment

Branch Service Officer (Former Employee) - El Centro, CA - May 22, 2022

My immediate boss and “most” colleagues at the time were great to work with and that’s why I enjoyed UB. At the time when I worked there bank was open mon-sat, 845-545, Fridays til 630ish and Saturday 845-130. Upper management did not care much about work/personal life balance. Hard to request time off. Since pandemic they only open mon-fri at least they have weekends off to spend with family.

No support

Manager (Former Employee) - Contra Costa County, CA - May 18, 2022

Upper management does not care about their team. They do not care about customers or the service they receive due to lack of locations and staff. The systems are antique at best, they want you to force customers to do everything online that can't even be done online. They do not know or care how to serve their client base.

It was quite good for the first 20+ years but...

Mailroom Clerk (Former Employee) - San Diego, CA - May 10, 2022

I had a great boss, She would always stand up for her employees. I had worked at the down town offices and all the departments worked together. After we moved to the La Jolla the scene changed drastically. The moral was low and lots of petty infighting between departments. The food there also was bad, the only options were to bring your own or eat at a limited overpriced cafe, there was no place you could even drive to. I was happy when I got downsized. I did have a great boss, and I enjoyed the work though.

Pros

the benefits were nice

Cons

Office politics

Retired VP/Private Banker (Former Employee) - Irvine/Newport Beach - May 10, 2022

MPSC was a great place to work, with a beautiful cafe with a park like setting and a gym onsite. Sorry to see it go.

Executive Assistant (Former Employee) - Monterey Park, CA - April 25, 2022

Worked with a great team, after 13 + years, our team was more like family. Company offers a great list of benefits. Working with Union Bank will be greatly missed.

Work life balance but compensation and career advancement is an issue.

AVP (Former Employee) - Jersey City, NJ - November 5, 2021

MUFG Union Bank provides you work life balance but compensation/career advancement is an issue. There is no clarity in managements vision as there are executive coming and leaving within 12-14 months of their tenure.Yearly goal setting is a joke as they will set the same goal for analyst/AVP/VP with no clarity at all.

Pros

Work life balance

Cons

Compensation, career advancement

Long hours due to outdated technology

Senior Analyst (Current Employee) - Remote - September 26, 2021

The Japanese parent MUFG must of not invested a dime into technology until recently. All the financial systems and data warehouse are out of date. An upgrade project was started but it was too little to late. Now USbank has offered Japan the Golden solution of buying out Union bank and will be dumping all the systems lol. Long hours, including working weekends and holidays. 401k match is only paid out once a year 😂 and raises are non existent. Japan basically milked this bank for all its worth.

Pros

Remote work

Cons

Terrible 401k match that’s only paid out once a year. Pension is now wiped due to usbank purchase.

I would sum up this place as this; a sweat shop with bad management

Senior Analyst (Current Employee) - Remote - September 25, 2021

Pay is good, but benefits are not good. There's no comp time for any overtime work and there are lots of overtime asked work without comp days as salaried worker. Benefits are mediocre at best with higher than normal out of pocket for medical, and lower than average 401K matching than competitors with 1 year maturity for company matching. Though they touted pension when hired, now that they've been acquired by U.S. Bank, they will announce the normal sphiel of better 401K matching and if you're a new hire before maturity.. oh well...

Pros

I guess decent pay and ability to work remote due to COVID

Cons

Long hours with no comp time, vacation day lost if you don't take due to shortage of staff

You need to understand the culture and not think you can change it

Project Manager (Former Employee) - Jersey City, NJ - September 19, 2021

Overall, I had a lot of fun working there. I understood the features of the culture I had to accept and govern my work accordingly. I attempted to do things differently and more efficiently to get my job done and sometimes I was permitted to do so. Other times I was not and it was somewhat frustrating but I accepted it and did things their way without any pushback. My stress was lower as a result and I still got things done. It just took longer. Other workers found it very painful to do things inefficiently and they pushed back. Big mistake. Ended badly. Key to success is understand the culture and use your creativity where they allow it and back off when they do not allow you to do that. Enjoy the times you can be creative and smile when you cannot. Better to be amused than to be frustrated.

Pros

Really great people on my team and all levels of involvement

Cons

Just need to understand the culture and everything becomes ok

Good place to work with many great people

Vice President, Business systems consultant (Former Employee) - Remote - July 13, 2021

Pros

Pay and benefits and people

Cons

Not a whole lot of training opportunities, work/life balance can be a struggle

Considerate, intelligent, strategic leaders who care

AVP (Current Employee) - Ohio - April 20, 2021

Despite being a more junior employee with UB, I have a decent amount of experience from a number of employers to make a fair comparison. I have worked for several large, multinational companies and easily rank Union Bank (MUFG) at the top of my list across the board. Pay is above average, benefits are excellent, tangential perks such as mentorships and paid training are readily available. The most energizing element for me though is the care and dedication of senior leadership. Those steering the ship truly care about doing the right thing by both employees and customers. While the tech and processes are outdated, the commitment to the mission (being the most trusted financial services firm) is held up by each employee.

Don’t work here

Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) - Arlington, TX - April 16, 2021

Honestly it seems like at first they treat you right then they start treating you awful they target people. They lie about you, or try to accuse you of stupid stuff. This company had honestly been the worst company I’ve ever worked for. I’ve never felt so disappointed and upset about my working managers and supervisors.
