Politics For Higher Pay - Anonymous employee Guaranty Bank (MO) Employee Review

Pros

Decent work-life balance Relatively easy to transfer to a different department Most executives show respect to all employees Most executives genuinely seem to value employees Very good vacation time policy Decent health insurance Not too much micromanaging

Cons

Horrendous pay - many positions pay as much or less than fast food restaurants. Expectations constantly grow disproportionately to salaries. More money could be allocated to salaries if less was spent on things like remodels, Christmas parties, catering, and unnecessary special accommodations for demanding (yet influential) employees. Lack of pay increase policy transparency - No baseline salary or hourly rate relative to its respective position is shared. You are also told not to discuss your salary with other employees. Politics - Those who do get large pay increases receive them as a consequence of the “who you know” principle.

Thank you for your review and feedback. We appreciate your positive comments and welcome the feedback you have provided. Several of your concerns have also been voiced through our annual employee engagement survey and we are actively using this feedback to continuously improve our organization. As a matter of fact, we have already made a significant number of pay adjustments this year based on feedback from our survey along with compensation analysis in the markets we serve. While we do not currently have pay grades or ranges associated with our positions, it is something that is being evaluated and considered. As an organization we try to be as transparent and consistent in our decisions as possible from pre-employment through the point in time the employment relationship ends, but we acknowledge that sometimes effective communication and consistency are not achieved. We appreciate your feedback and are committed to continuing to work hard in all areas to meet the expectations and needs of our employees.

Pros

Good coworkers, pay is fair

Cons

Unorganized leadership, lack of communication and transparency. Absurd PTO policy that applies to retail department only which makes it impossible to use PTO for illness without being penalized. Terrible tech issues which never get resolved. No path to advance out of retail.
