Discouraging reality of managers who have no clue. - Recensione dipendente - Customer Service Representative presso Flagstar Bank

Very knowledgeable and helpful people who are experts in enterprise systems

N/A during my time with the company

Benefits are decent. Average PTO

My experience with this company has been disappointing. Branch goals are unrealistic with no marketing or brand awareness to support the high goals and teams feel defeated. Senior leadership often communicates in a demeaning way, which has contributed to high turnover and declining morale. Despite emphasizing the importance of ‘hiring right,’ the President of Consumer Banking has cycled through three heads of Consumer Banking in just three years. The annual review process is long and drawn out (5 month process) and feels inconsistent and more like a popularity contest than a true evaluation of performance. Although the scale ranges from 1–5, employees are told that most ratings will fall in the 2–3 range, with 4s being rare and 5s essentially unattainable. The calibration process appears to focus more on filling predetermined rating quotas than assessing actual contributions. Employees are required to write their own reviews, which are then rewritten by leadership before being sent to HR for calibration. The final ratings often seem influenced more by internal politics than by merit. Annual increases are very minimal or zero. Overall, the environment lacks transparency, fairness, and genuine support for employee growth.
