"The company first layoffs in 5 years came 2 weeks prior to christmas last year. Any the employees who got laid off all got letters from CEO and President, wishing them a Merry Christmas and Joyous New Year. As metioned there is an EVP who is a knows sex offender at the bank but all turn a blind eye. The bank has serious nepotism problems. Most of the up and comers are son's, daughters, brothers, sisters, neices and nephews."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would be honest with the employees. I would not tell employees they were the most important concern I had and then act suprised when I found out over 100+ Employess laid off.

What don't you like about working at Zions Bank?

"Several back-stabbing, self-serving executives in the retail division. Whenever there is a problem their first objective is to assign blame and then figure out a solution. One Retail EVP manages by fear alone and is often referred to as Saddam. He actually brags about firing people to his inner circle. Honestly, I would have rather worked for the real Saddam. The other EVPs often take credit for things they had nothing to do with and then use them to promote themselves for national awards and recognition."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Break the management by fear and intimidation habit. Reach out and communicate to employees (at least direct reports) on a personal level. Put an end to the blame-storming sessions and make an effort to truly understand why the problem occurred and how to fix it going forward. Also, stop back-stabbing people in meetings when there are people they work with or vendors in the meeting!"
