Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

My overall experience is negative. I was forced into a position I did not apply for. I was not properly compensated for the new role. I have tried multiple departments to stay within the company and have had no chance to move to another department. Very little follow up was completed.

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

My team is well diverse.

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

We are diverse and accept people for who they are.

What are some of the best things about your team?

The team gets along well and there is little to no drama.

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

I would be more excited about coming to work if I was properly paid for the amount that I deserve.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

They need to consider the people at the bottom of the totem pole. During integration with Level One, they decided to keep branches open for 3 hours was a waste of time and money. Executives sit at the top and make decisions for those below who are the ones genuinely impacted.

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

I was forced into a universal banking model. I now do more work and make less money than tellers at other institutions. 5/3 starts their tellers at $20/hr and they don't open accounts or do any form of lending.
