Pros

There are some wonderful people to work with at BofA; hardworking, kind, and smart. The benefits are good, and the many opportunities to join affinity groups and volunteer to help the community are great.

Cons

Overall, the company's mission and message sound good. If you're in a good division, you may find they align. However, due to constant and numerous organizational and leadership changes, you often find it does not align.

I worked for BofA for 9 years and have to say its leadership is tone-deaf, not only to its employees but also to its own managers.

Teams want to contribute and do good work, but the lack of consistent direction and support makes this a difficult task to achieve.

Advice to Management

After you do your next Employee Survey, actually listen to the advice given, especially in the areas of tools, process, and the need to develop entry-level and mid-level managers.
