U.S. Bank Employee Reviews about "manager"

Cons

branch managers are not all qualified for positions and can bring branches down which intern reflects on the bankers.

Cons

Very conservative regional bank. In my opinion, I think they lacked innovation in commercial treasury products and as a result it was difficult to compete with the national players.

Cons

There was a lot of politics at the branch that I worked at but then again, it was only that particular branch.

Cons

-somewhat behind the times regarding keeping pace with industry diversity initiatives (although, they are focusing on this, and are starting to catch up) -pay is OK at best; could use some work to achieve balance with industry standards -slow pace in getting technology up to par (progress is being made, but slowly)

Cons

Compensation and bonus is low compared to competitors. District and regional managers are out of touch with what is needed to succeed at the branch level. Favoritism is rampant.

Cons

Insurance is awful Hard to move to other departments Managers are usually people who have only worked their way up and have no education or training to be managers

Cons

The pay is ridiculously low. Given the responsibility of tracking tens of thousands of dollars and the risk of getting robbed (this happened often), I probably should have made more than $10/hour. I was under the impression when I accepted the position that the benefits were paid for by the company--this is not the case. Working part-time, the health insurance deduction consumed my paycheck. We all had to have second jobs, lived at our parents' houses, or both!

Cons

I worked retail for four and a half years and became the Assistant Manager at a local retail store. As soon as I heard I got the job at US Bank, you wouldn't believe how much it was an honor to be apart of the family Sadly, the branch I worked for played me wrong. I can understand training an employee, but they wouldn't even bother. I would ask for help and they would briefly tell me what to do and they would finish the transaction themselves. Within a week in, they sent me on the sales floor and expected me to learn everything I've read. I was never told that I was a slow learner, but for a person with no banking experience, you can at least help them when they have a question. They even compared me to a person when they already had banking experience, not to mention a person who worked for US Bank that transferred branches. It didn't help that they were hinting me that I should look for another job when the one month hit either. I later found out that there were two ladies leaving for maternity leave the same time and they needed me to learn everything by that time. About 60 days in, they terminated me. Why? Cause she claimed I didn't hit her expectations and even said that 'if you had the time, you'd be a great banker'. I never failed at a job and I never will. I picked myself up from that experience because I doubted myself. But I got my previous job back the next day from a manager who also said that 'I deserved better'. I would have loved to work for this bank because the banking experience was great. The people, well, you win some and you lose some.

Cons

Still dealing with high turnover, senior management is inconsistent or sometimes absent in communicating their vision. Some mid level supervisors or managers don't work very hard and leave work to their underlings.

Cons

Outdated technology Waiting forever for Access Not Provided with the necessary tools to do your job Had to find extra items like desk chairs in another cue Manager played favorites and didn't listen when real issues arose with one of her favorites
