I would say that it started out better than it is currently. it has deteriorated over the years, through multiple splinters at the core that lead to bigger issues being shown.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Communication, as well as teamwork skills.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Nothing, they treat us like prisoners, who are not allowed to look anything up on computers in our free time. They would rather us stare at paint drying on a wall then allow us to do anything in our free time.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Other than my direct manager most of my teammates are super helpful and always looking out for each other. We are always trying to make the day go by faster for each other. They also are always compassionate when i am dealing with health issues.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I feel like this company does value tenure and they could care less about the tellers compared to their managers. They see tellers as expendable and replaceable, but treat their managers like gold, even when there managers are the reason their branches are not running optimally.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

The company doesn't value its lower-level employees and tries to act like they can replace them whenever they want. However, they have had staffing issues since I started at different locations. Then expect the only branch that is fully staffed to help out for the same pay as those who don't travel.
