Working at Bank of America in Getzville, NY: 5 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Getzville, NY Area

"Bank of America is full of extremely talented hard working individuals. Many join the bank seeking a challenging experience within a large industry leading company. For this reason it is very competitive. There are several people willing to go the distance to get the job done, and for me, it was a rewarding learning experience as iron sharpens iron. Unfortunately, If you stand out, you will be sought after and you will work long hours, but you will not be compensated equitably for your work. Even so, you will walk away with experience that is unrivaled by other companies. They are flexible and adaptive to industry demand, driving the industry. There are also several opportunities to move around within the bank, allowing you to learn and broaden your experience. As I was an independent contributor in a management level band I took several lateral positions to broaden my experience and make my skill-set more valuable. I was also able to work remote the majority of my time I worked there, which allowed me to seek positions all over the company without moving and to collaborate with team members all over the country. Compensation is not competitive; however, I recommend regarding your work at Bank of America similar to earning a masters degree, paying for the experience. I worked for Bank of America for 8 years, my work was rewarding and I received much accolade and respect. I realized after about 5 years that my compensation was not growing in line with the respect I was receiving. I stayed because of the relationships I had built, however, during widespread layoffs I lost several close associates. At that point, I realized it didn't make sense for me to stay. If you are looking for a position that you can commit to for about 4-5 years, to gain a lot of experience, I highly recommend Bank of America. If you do look at Bank of America as a long term opportunity, you with likely be disappointed."
