Pros

Great history, great name, best customer service in the industry, and some of the best employees in the industry as well to work with.

Cons

All companies are political, however Harris is beyond ridiculous in determining who gets promoted and who gets raises. We promote middle management on a basis of how well you know your boss and how unlikely you will be to be able to take their position over. The Small Business segment in particular is losing people at an alarming rate for a newer program and with pay so poor for back office and front line personnel, top people and managers will be the next to start leaving. Small Business executive has almost no leadership ability and pays based on experience as opposed to proven results. No matter whether you are at the top or the bottom, your bonus seems to be the same.

Pros

Pros: • Great coworkers who foster a supportive team environment. • Strong commitment to community engagement and involvement. • Attractive annual bonuses and competitive quarterly compensation.

Cons

Cons: • High levels of sales pressure, which can be overwhelming at times. • Concerns about management, particularly after the hiring of former Bank of America leadership; implementation of their sales culture. • Recent changes to branch names (now referred to as Financial Banking Centers) suggest a shift towards Bank of America's practices. • Many branch managers are on performance improvement plans and face pressure to meet 100% of their goals weekly, leading to a stressful work environment. • There are reports of unethical sales practices that may require regulatory attention. Overall: BMO offers a positive work atmosphere with great benefits, but the increasing sales pressure and management issues may raise concerns for potential employees.
