"Bank of the West has some great aspects: smart people, and a commitment to ethics, diversity, and the customer. I have been proud to tell people that I work for BOTW, especially since the company was the first major US bank to implement a green\restrictive fossil fuels policy. But I have seen my workload double in the last two years even as I did not get even a cost-of-living raise for the first time in my adult life. And IT still seems woefully understaffed, year after year."

"Incentive plans are ridiculous and goals are completely unobtainable. Regional and divisional management don't care about their employees, and their idea of gratitude is company branded face masks."

"I am beyond grateful to Bank of the West where I didn’t feel valued as an employee or a person. From the moment I walked into Bank of the West I felt the difference in environment. People are actually happy here, and not only happy, but they are thriving at their career. So far it has been rewarding and has really opened doors for me to be able to work with like minded, strong and hard working individuals, whom appreciate the diverse environment, who value female entrepreneurs and who most importantly, respect each other."
