"It doesn't have a routine. It never gets boring. I'm very independent and I love learning with challenges. As an executive assistant there is a lot to learn everyday. I'm surrounded by business people that give everyday a new lesson about life and career. Organizing and solving problems is an executive is an everyday responsibility. You must to have passion for making people's life better, easier and simpler. It's amazing how much we can improve having information and network."

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Not as fulfilling as I hoped. Limited job growth. Poor company moral."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

What don't you like about working at Valley National Bank?

"The CEO was a micro manager who did not let department heads do their jobs without interference. The CEO was over involved with outside activities under the guise of marketing that resulting in not as much time being commited to her primary role."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"The CEO needs to step back from outside activities and committees (limiting them to perhaps 3) and take a step back into her normal role. She needs to realize she hired a great senior management team and allow them to do their jobs without interference in their day-to-day job functions. The CEO preached family but didn't show that in her actions."
