Bank of Hope Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

I like insurance and 401K.

Review from Admin Dept

The pay, benefits, insurance coverage and bonuses.

Review from IT Dept

How it is structured, providing fair wages for the times we are living, giving employees a portion of the bonus at the end of the year (helps a lot), above average medical and insurance coverages packages that would cover us during extreme life events, not raising the cost of benefits to employees

Review from IT Dept

Health benefits here are excellent.

Review from Operations Dept

My share for health care benefits is low.

Review from Finance Dept

health insurance and 401k retirement plan

Review from Customer Support Dept

health insurance, including dental, vision and 401K

Review from IT Dept

Hybrid work schedule, medical insurance

Review from Admin Dept

The employee share of the health benefits is outstanding!

Review from Admin Dept

health insurance & 401 k benefit

Review from Operations Dept

401K 75% match and medical insurance.

Review from Operations Dept

Health and 401K Match benefits are the best part of my compensation. However, I feel stuck in same position and same salary.

Review from Product Dept

Salary, benefits, and annual incentive compensation

Review from Operations Dept

Salary, insurance, bonuses and holiday time off.

Review from Business Development Dept

The best part about my compensation package is how I have options to choose my benefits based on my needs.

Review from Admin Dept

Health, vision and dental insurance

Review from IT Dept

the package is competitive and fair. Only thing that could be improved is the ability to cash out the accumulated vacation time if not used within the year.

Review from IT Dept

The salary is fair and I like the 401k match.

Review from Operations Dept

I am highly satisfied with the 401k match and insurance benefits offered through Bank of Hope.

Review from Admin Dept

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

i can make $20/hr flipping a burger at mcdonalds yet i make $17.50 handling millions of dollars in transactions . . .

Review from Operations Dept

I feel that my hourly wage is unfair. The inflation has gone up dramatically but my salary stays the same. The CEO makes so much money annually while everyone else get laid off or doesn't. People who haven't been laid off have to take the workload with no change in pay but more work.Extremely unfair

Review from Customer Support Dept

The percentage of deferred bonus is high and the vesting period for businesses is conservative and, when someone retires, they should not have to forfeit unpaid but earned bonuses.

Review from Business Development Dept

Compensation at the bank is not competitive.

Review from Finance Dept

High compensation or better benefits or perks.

Review from Customer Support Dept

don't have clear career growth opportunities.

Review from IT Dept

I feel that I’m not being appreciated or promoted for having to deal with things that managers or officers can not handle or manage at branch such as working with non Koreans and/or writing emails on beha

Review from Operations Dept

I do two title jobs with low pay.

Review from Customer Support Dept

The pay was low compared to the job.

Review from Finance Dept

The salary is too small compared to the amount of work done. The pay needs to be raised.

Review from Operations Dept

The annual evaluation score is not appropriate. It would be nice if SICK DAY that is not used every year is paid, and bonuses are given twice a year.

Review from Operations Dept

Compensation level is lower that employees in other departments but workload is much heavier

Review from Finance Dept

When your team understaff and doing the work of 4 people but getting paid for the work of one. What would make it better would be a merit increase .

Review from Operations Dept

Suggestions are seen as complaints, Accountability throughout the company is not professional. Also most of your seniors will talk to you in a degrading manner.

Review from Operations Dept

if the compensation was at a more competitive rate

Review from Sales Dept

Have been here a long time. Think a promotion would be advised. The rating system for reviews is very unfair. We are rated on something that not all of us have the ability to change.

Review from Operations Dept

Manager just say I am doing a good job but don't have the opportunity to negotiate my salary. If you look at the salary for the past three years, it is not even close to the inflation rate at all. As long as you don't change jobs, no matter how long and hard you work, your salary will hardly change

Review from Operations Dept

at least market level salary

The salary should be based on the level of job you are doing rather than paying a blanket salary.

Review from Finance Dept

Pay is not fair for the amount of work done.
