What do you like best about the leadership team?

Well experienced and intelligent academically

What are some of the best things about your team?

Seem to care about each other however, they are not doing the activities and behaviors needed to consistently be done to have consistent success

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

Needs to be in line with the regions/markets average pay for my position and a across the board incentive/bonus program that is in areas beyond just core 5 + CPM. Merit pay is too low

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Focus on how we are alike and not different and spend our time building up each other, all cultures and helping each other to do our jobs better. We are totally lost in the wrong narratives, political narratives and showing we are not truly interested in growing our bank

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

We need to know exactly what we want and where we want to go and then we need to hire/develop our teams to do what it takes to hit those strategies. We seem to be lost in intelligence but not much common sense and btw, we are light years behind in technology and in our back rooms
