The relationship banker role is overwhelming. Working with incompetent teammates and the micromanaging is starting to truly irritate me. I have proven my work through my numbers and my teamwork over the 5 years I’ve been with Truist. Applied for a better position within Truist and got ignored. The hiring manager didn’t even have the decency to at least interview me for the role I was pursuing. I gave a lot of myself to Truist through hardwork, helping other branches, helping incompetent teammates repeatedly it’s truly becoming frustrating. I pray a job offer comes my way from a different company as soon as possible. I am at my breaking point with the micromanaging, awful technology, operations, bad sales practices and bad customer service!

I feel you. Ive applied for so many internal roles and get ignored. I even reach out to the recruiter to ask any advice or anything i can do and all they say is "we'll reach out to you if you're qualified" its insulting really. 9 years working here and not even a chance at any career advancement is a huge slap in the face. Trying to find something external is even harder it seems. Youre not alone in this.
Rb in same situation and about the same amount of years in. Our area and region plays games with talking to other leaders to keep top performers confined into the retail space. Our region leader also plays with segmentation of branches to oppress branches who speak up about their legitimate concerns. Our area leader was on a call with him and she was talking about this in the early fall. What a firm. Now stuck having to apply externally because our company is toxically in shambles.
Truist doesn’t seem to give out (career path) promotions or promote from within. It seems almost all hires are external.
Let go and find a better place it will do you some good
Advice from an old banker: find a job where you’re one of few rather than one of many. The micromanaging arises out of trying to herd cats and identifying “key performance indicators”….. but all you get is infinite “targets” to reign in the lowest common denominators. Identify your differentiators and create a niche for yourself if you can. Good luck in your search.
Move on. 5 years is more than enough, if you can't get it to work in they time cut your losses and try again somewhere else.
