Vantaggi
Commerce is a very stable bank to work for. Upper management is very friendly and not too intimidating. Co-workers were like family and I miss them dearly. I was paid well for the type of work and quantity of work done. There are certainly worse places to work, and not everyone there experiences the same treatment. Good departments exist. I just wasn't in one of them.
Svantaggi
Commerce is terrible about promoting from within and/or certain departments. Middle management is clique-ish. If you are not a part of the club, you're nobody. One department is very clearly "reverse sexist" as they would not restore a male employee to his former position when there was reorganization. -Not me. He left that area. I was never promoted and only two people in my department were in the 10 years I was there. Mistakes made years in the past are never forgiven despite current good reviews. Finally, they are INCREDIBLY stingy on raises. Employees with "Excellent" reviews do not even break 1.5%. I left for that reason and in my new job I have already been given two raises in the last 18 months. The total of the raises would have been equivalent to about 4 years review cycles for an "Average to Excellent" employee.
