Pros

Salary and benefits were fair compared to industry, protected by union as well.

Cons

Performance and KPI are not well defined and changed every years. Unrealistic KPI also causing the staff resigned. The trend of Great Resignation, change of working behavior & preference after Covid 19, and new generation Z joining the workforce are causing TALENT shortage in the bank and industry. The bank works hard to transform but the result is not as expected due to multiple factors. Due to the above reasons, the manager is expecting you to fill the gap arises from the resigned staff and system inefficiency, Happy Overtime . Other paperwork and compliance work are part of your job though it deviated from your main job scope.

Pros

Good staff benefits, especially medical coverage. Friendly and supportive colleagues, with a generally positive working environment. Work is relatively less stressful compared to many other banks.

Cons

Many internal processes are still highly manual, which can slow down operations and affect overall efficiency. Product offerings are not as competitive as those of some larger banks in the market. Decision-making and approval processes can be lengthy and involve multiple layers, making it difficult to respond quickly to business opportunities. The criteria for customers to qualify for banking facilities can also be quite stringent. In addition, there is often a lack of clear direction from management, and HR response times could be improved. For experienced hires, compensation may not always be competitive, as some employees may receive a lower salary package compared to their previous employer.
