Employee Review of Huntington Bank - Check out more reviews of working at Huntington Bank

Ok, I was with Sky for only a short time before the merger to Huntington. It only got worse!! Yah, some of the products are better for the customers but the fees are much better for the bank. Customers are getting hit with fees for reasons that the employees can't even figure out and we are not supposed to refund them!!
Anyway, pay. Well as in all banks that I have worked for, the "tellers are the most important employees" but yet the lowest paid. And when I say lowest paid, I mean your lucky to start out at 7.50 hr. You are responsible for thousands and thousands of dollars, yet you earn very little. As for respect, it depends on who you are and how much you suck up (and to who)as to the respect you get. Benefits are good but health insurance is expensive. Job security, well, they're cutting back more and more everyday. Saying that offices are over-staffed yet there aren't enough people to cover the office if there is someone on vacation- which when you work at an office that most of the employees get 3 or 4 weeks of vacation, this happens alot. Career growth, well there is potential if you are a size 3 and are under 25 with a pretty face. Or you suck up really good. I have been "backing up" other positions in the office "to get the experience for when a position opens", yet I have been passed up for the position twice!! Location is not too bad but there are closer to my home but no way to get in at those offices. Co-workers are great people but most have been there a while so they all want to do things their way and if they can't they threaten to quit and the TL or Manager give in. Most of them are very competent. Work environment is very stressfull. If the customers are not complaining or giving you a hard time, the manager is harping at you to get more people to open accounts so you can meet the goals set for the office. They even want you to get your family and friends to open accounts if there are no customers who want to. And then there's the survey calls that are made to the customer. It is supposed to be to rate the employees and how they treated the customer yet when a customer says something bad about the bank's procedures or products, it brings the score down. The branch's employees cannot control procedures or products and yet we fail to get bonuses because the customers don't like these things.
