Pros

To its credit, Truist has great diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. I transitioned in my time at the company and never once felt fear for my job or how my teammates would interact with me. They also know how to find great teammates; I liked almost every single person I got to work directly with (easily over 50 people in my time at the company). Being trans at this company is honestly alright.

Cons

Your workload will only grow and grow over time with no end. During my time here, I was forced from a teller role with very rare, light bankers' complex duties to a "universal banker" role, or half teller/half banker role. I was expected to begin data mining clients during conversations, pushing product when I could, and knowing how to do just about anything in the branch despite already having the most time-crunched role in the building. Every time you meet your goals, the post will be pushed back. Clients expect blistering speed, the top level expects perfect procedural compliance and constant push to meet changing goals, and branch level leadership will nitpick you to death as you just try to make this all work. The demands being made of tellers often conflict with one-another and the whole experience will leave you stressed, burnt out, and exhausted all for pay that really isn't worth the decline of your mental health.

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Training is often outdated and does not prepare you for your role.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.
