Pros

Strong leadership throughout Byline Bank. One of the fastest growing mid-size banks, leveraging employee expertise and communications. Overall, business units are well synergized and committed to the bank's health. Despite mixed reviews, there are promotional opportunities available, you just have to own your career and share your ambitions with your manager. Post pandemic, Bank still enables employees to work remotely as leadership cross-trained how to effectively lead remotely. Leadership also places a premium on work/life balance with generous PTO and flexibility. I've transitioned between jobs throughout my career, Byline Bank is one of the top organizations to work for. Highly regarded and recommended as a place for employment.

Cons

Like every organization, there are a select few managers who exhibit very fixed mindsets, which results in unintended consequences for different business units and customer experience. To mitigate, leadership recognizes the opportunity to re-engage those managers into leadership training and help transition them to a more growth mindset. Another concern is the volume of Retail personnel turnover at the branch level, which impacts branch trainings and customer experiences.

Pros

No evening, No Sunday's, 19 pto days, sick time, you get to learn and go to new events in Evanston. Some people are cool to work with. It’s easy to move up in the company. They celebrate your birthday

Cons

1) The disability insurance is utterly disappointing. They take forever to release your money. I almost lost my house and car. It was horrible! I had just had a car crash. 2) The other people likes to sniff each other’s butt. If you aren’t sucking up then you won’t be liked. 3) people are heavy on WEIRD! I have health issues that cause me to be in the bathroom that’s longer than normal. I was being WATCHED and TIMED! So watch out for that. 4) The system is out dated. You will get frustrated. 5) You have to pay for parking or walk from one branch to the other. It just depends on what branch you are at. 6) The pay is low. You can get more else where. 7) The 401k takes forever to get if you need it. It’s been two weeks since I requested my money. (Still waiting) You’re better off doing Fidelity. 8) I’ve witnessed management lie to clients about certain things. 9) management will talk about you behind your back and give you attitude. 10) no two teller’s at the same branch can go on Pto. At the other location, only one person can request pto. The system for this is crazy. 11) JUST DON’T LOOK HERE FOR GOD SAKE!
