This company blows and the leadership at the top are the Wall Street rejects and all time winners of the “right time and place” awards for somehow being given such prestigious roles. I’m surprised they haven’t given away the bank like Kelly did with how quickly they fall into every sales pitch for a new system or ad campaign that fails to deliver on everything promised and only serves to line the pocketsof the consultant selling it to them. Long live Accenture, I mean SunTrust…sorry, Truist.

Less a unicorn and more a bot
You are indeed the unicorn at this plantation.
To be honest , I have had a great experience at Truist. I think it is all subjective, my teammates are the best, my manager is awesome.
Layoffs are unavoidable - while they do su-k, I am getting paid to work and chill with awesome people. I'll ride this out till i am laid off or things get better.
Things could be worse, but that is just my experience.

You are so right. I've seen every major consulting company come in and give generic guidance. Great to get advice from a freshly minted MBA with no actual work experience or the guy that said I used to run something like that 15 years ago expert. Like, we know what needs to happen, the business just needs to execute. Millions down the drain but at least they have people to sacrifice to say they got "experts" in. SMH
As a post merger hire, I agree with the below except to say that there are so many good people from both banks working 2-3 levels down. Those people are the only real reason I am still here.
It is however obvious that Rogers seems to prefer people who either oooze arrogance or are just puppets who spew nonsensical corporate BS when they aren’t blaming worker bees for decisions they made. Humble, servant leaders that are not total d***s are not needed here and that definitely seems to be SunTrust culture, departed BBT leaders were simply better for clients and teammates.
As neither a SunTrust or BB&T person, I can absolutely understand the angst from the BB&T heritage perspective. SunTrust leadership has summarily, and
unfairly, targeted BB&T employees for layoff. I have no dog in the fight, but the obvious targeting of BB&T employees was not right, and a huge red flag for the SunTrust executive team.
Even with the ego hit, my guess is most BB&T people would have accepted their fate if the combined bank was moving in the right direction. Instead, one side has absorbed the vast majority of the pain, and yet the combined bank is a terrible mess. I sometimes am at a loss as to how more heritage SunTrust employees don’t have a bit more sympathy for this fact.
Trash sometimes has something valuable in it. How dare you compare trash to Truist!
Read the news but doesn't change the fact SunTruist is trash.
Not sure folks read the business news but Truist is not the only bank cutting significant numbers of employees. Anyone in banking, in any bank, is at risk.
Who isn’t a hBBT employee complaining on this site?
“I honestly don't get this heritage employee divisiveness. Doesn't matter if you were SunTrust or BB&T or hired directly to Truist, all in the same sinking boat now in the same purple lead weighted boots. What does trolling this board of people you should be identifying with as a potential layoff target yourself accomplish? Feel better?
I think how you came to the”new” Truist does matter. Ones current point of view is a reflection of his/her past. It is entirely clear that these were two VERY different bank cultures ..merged into one by Ole Bill and King Kelly. We are now suffering the results of this mismatch. I find it interesting to hear from those from both heritage banks as well as any newbies who stumbled in post-merger.
The end result is the same. Dumpster fire.
Can we offshore leadership??
Mushrooms….totally agree. I like a lot my suntrust colleagues, I just hate the SunTrust leadership and culture which is cutthroat and sycophantic.
SunTruist is indeed a dumpster fire. The culture is terrible but at least we have purpose coloring books. Oh, we have Journey Rooms as well with the smartest people on the planet brainstorming things that have zero hope here. So many audit issues that have no solution they should just shut the doors. If the Feds monitor this site look closer you'll be SHOCKED!
As someone who joined Truist-none of us care what bank you came from. There are good people from both and not so good like any workplace.
I honestly don't get this heritage employee divisiveness. Doesn't matter if you were SunTrust or BB&T or hired directly to Truist, all in the same sinking boat now in the same purple lead weighted boots. What does trolling this board of people you should be identifying with as a potential layoff target yourself accomplish? Feel better? Does it make your job more secure now that you called out hBBT people with ad hominems? Have a constructive point or suggestions otherwise? Yeah, I didn't think so. Please make sure to note that you are a closet sadist with sociopathic tendencies on your resume.
Just when you think it can't get any worse: "But wait, there's more!". But also keep working as hard as possible until we tell you that you are no longer needed.
I have a feeling that Truist will be sold by 2026. Take your seeds of hope and shove it up your a-s, Truist!
I think insurance gets sold they get a payday then the bank so I’m saying 18-24 months
2 quarters from being sold. Keep your head up and enjoy what's left.
