A recent post said it best — we are now SunTrust, and with that leadership team fully in place, “insular detached management, a view that employees are worthless, and bureaucratic chaos.”
We are a company that identifies risk and cannot solve it.

This is the Goddam___d strangest place Ive ever worked.
A company that identifies risk, to the point where writing business is damn near impossible.
The “insular detached leadership” is on point. Speaking with numerous colleagues before I left, all said the same thing in so many words. Legacy ST management inserted somewhere (usually at the top) of their leadership, were removed and unconcerned. There was no effort to understand, nor assist either the employees OR the clients that the employees were seeking to help. “That’s just the way it is” was the prevailing attitude. “Get used to it or leave”….even when the policy or decisions made no sense whatsoever.
I was in management, and if one of our best employees was leaving, or I was concerned that they we’re considering it, and I went to my supervisor to say “let’s find a way to keep this person”, he’d say “don’t worry about it, let them go”. No concerns at all about losing good employees OR the clients that they’d take along with them. This was echoed by others in several departments.
To this day I can’t decide if they’re all brainwashed, beat down into whimps, or just arrogant sh*ts. (D …. All of the Above)
The worst bureaucratic chaos ever for real.
Note: Someone will come in and say “all banks are like this.” No they’re not. Small financial institutions are not like this.
