Pros

Some great people still there.

Cons

BB&T was an awesome bank and had a great culture (hence it's superior valuation prior to merging with SunTrust). Executive management literally sold out thousands of hard working, great people and did it under the guise of being "better together" with SunTrust. I'm not just a disgruntle former successful leader of a large team, I am one of THOUSANDS of people who got the shaft by a company that I had poured myself into for over 16 years. I know there are many former employees at SunTrust who feel the same way. The issue wasn't the idea, it was the execution by executive management. Smartest guy in the room during merger discussions was Bill Rogers (CEO of SunTrust and now of Truist). This is a masterclass in how not to do a merger. BB&T bought SunTrust and yet Suntrust literally runs Truist and all of BB&T.

Pros

A few of my teammates will be my friends for life.

Cons

Training is often outdated and does not prepare you for your role. They constantly talk about being able to transfer and or be promoted yet it’s just a ploy to keep you. If you have an emergency and need to relocate there aren’t any placement benefits so essentially you must try your best to find a job on your own. Not to mention there is no guarantee you will be selected. You interview like an external candidate and the interview questions do not necessarily align with the actual position. There’s no way to prepare for interviews either due to the vague copy and paste job description. Unattainable metrics imposed after poor training and no way to dispute surveys.
