Truist is a bad place to work, I think we can all agree on that. But don't be too quick to leave and burn all the bridges behind you. Two of my former coworkers impulsively left within the last six months (one even quit after an argument with his direct supervisor without having a job lined up) and both of them have been trying to find their way back. One of them walked into an even worse situation in his new bank and for the other one, it turns out jobs that pay as much are far and few in between. Basically, they learned on their own skin that grass is not always greener. So if you are planning to leave, make sure you really know what you're walking toward.

Yeah quitting without something else to go to or at least a sizable reserve cash flow is just stupid. Remember there’s still so many people out of work due to the pandemic so you’re competing with all those people for likely less pay and benefits. At least if you get RIFed you can get severance and possibly cash in any equity if you have it to get by.
And in my experience heritage BB&T teammates are able to land jobs making considerably more. The pay at BB&T was terrible but I think SunTrust teammates might have a hard time making as much.
Hmmm. I agree that you should not act impulsively, but everyone I work with has either found a new job, or is in the final stages right now. It saddens me when the best reason to stay somewhere is 100% fear based - “it is truly horrible here, but it could be worse somewhere else...”
Truist is a terrible place to work now, with no improvement on the horizon. Speaking from experience, there are good places out there, places where your managers actually appreciate you, and not see you as an expense...
