Toxic culture

Recommend

Pros

being able to make a difference in client's life through the opportunity to give sound financial advice and empathic service

Cons

bureaucratic; clique of entitled advisors who have been there for many years intimidating and excluding a newcomer to the team and make the environment toxic with their bitter and resentful attitudes towards management/bank. i never dreaded coming to work my entire life until i got into this job/company branch where in the morning, toxic indifferent environment. there's much lashing, back biting of the manager/management and the whole bank itself from resentful advisors/staffs every morning huddles. imagine beginning your day that way:( New manager can't do so much as he seems to be not in control being with veteran (long-time) advisors controlling or managing bank's portfolio/valued clients.

Pros

Salary was good. That's the only pro.

Cons

No real training, was rushed, and made worse by pandemic. They didn't bother to explain if you asked questions. Just did it themselves very dramatically so you could never learn. Extremely boring work. Very stiff work culture.
