Members 1st reviews about "manager"

There are some horrible branch managers, lots of them are completely unprofessional.

Some managers don't care about your contributions unless it makes them more visible Pay is not competitive for many jobs in IT, and getting a "good" eval may still mean a lousy raise Management gets significantly higher percentage bonuses than normal staff No reimbursement for mileage or internet costs Allowed teams to say they wanted work from home & promised it would be honored and already are going back on this promise. Very easy for managers to get promotions (able to go from manager to AVP to VP in not that many years if you kiss up enough), very difficult for others, and seniority and actual ability are not a factor Certain VPs in IT impede any work and cause issues across the department, and head of lending attempts to control everything that IT does, blames IT for delays when theyre busy putting out fires that were caused by not being involved in the first place Too much politics in who is considered a leader, the noisy ones who aren't that capable tend to get more worms. Upper management somehow is close to 10% of employees HR ignores complaints and says that everything is great, tried to cut payscales and tell us that it hadn't been cut

Weak management team that doesn’t want to provide guidance and makes the workers guess at what they want. Bad managers stick around forever it seems.

This place will suck the life out of you. They promote managers and high ups based on butt kissing and not actual skill and qualifications. Managers have no education or managerial experience. They like to bully and harass associates that they can’t walk all over. Sales goals are unrealistic and the “incentives” you receive are not worth it. They will work you 10-11 hours a day while management pretty much gets to make their own hours and come and go as you please leaving the branch in shambles. They talk and treat employees like children in a daycare and try to write employees who do not butt kiss up for any little thing. They border the line of illegal activity as well. Not having associates sign write ups or occurrences and give these out without the associate on the receiving end having any knowledge.

Lack of consistency among expectations from branch to branch and among departments. A lot of changes happen during short periods of time and can be challenging to adjust to/enforce. Culture and integrity has always been important at Members 1st, but it appears it’s gradually becoming less important as the company grows. PTO package is less than most competing financial institutions.

Terrible atmosphere, rude, nasty managers put you down, curse at you, act ghetto
