Fifth Third Bank Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I've been in this biz for a long time. I can safely say this position was the absolute worst with 53. The Regional was the worst manager I have ever had. She is very deceitful and over-promised the position in every possible way. Expect the unexpected. Horrible career, and thankfully I got away as soon as possible."

"Worst job ever. Poor role clarity. Extreme office politics make you not want to do 'the right thing'. Abused by a bully to point I had to report person to HR. Favoritism based on mgmt friendships is sickening (hello boys club!). Unqualified managers who have only been promoted because they have tolerated the abuse for 5+ years. Sneaky and self-serving attitudes abound (survival technique). Little recognition for your efforts. Mgr uninterested in my day-to-day or growth. Place is a grinder. Burnt out."

"Don't stick to policy and bend procedures to suit needs, feels unethical, management is not honest with upper management, no open communication, retaliation, revenge, scare tactics, forced to fib or cover things up, overworked."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Follow policies/procedures, they are there for a reason, no fear of retaliation, there's usually a reason for issues on a team and just listening to one person without doing anything rather than asking more people in confidence."

"The management here is not very qualified. Does not work with employees and has lack of experience. He thinks he knows it all and will not take the time to learn. I have been with company 15 years and I have never been so disgusted as I am now with this company. Their HR dept is the worst as well. And I have to say, they can't give you the raise you deserve but they sure can find ways to throw money away. (For example: we had HD tv installed throughout building to keep up to date info and within a year they all were taken down. So where did the TV's go) Plus you can see as plain as day if you suck up to management you will become a VP or AVP just so you can get more money. One dept within mine has 10 employees and of them 5 are officers. For 70 employees we have 14 managers. Of those 14, 4 flirt and are unprofessional managers - you see the action right in front of you. This one I love - who just happens to be mine watches the REDS game on the computer and if you have an issue you have to wait until there is a break. He will not say why he is unable to help but if you go to his desk sure enough he is laid back listening away. And the sad part is the VP's office is right next to his and I bet he doesn't even know. My box is packed and that day is coming close and it is a shame that they make me so unhappy that I am just about to walk out."
