Nice place to work, but not stable since BMO took over
Customer Service Rep (Former Employee), Saint Joseph, MO – September 4, 2012
I'd still be with BMO Harris if they hadn't of down sized. Once BMO took over it seem to just go down hill. People losing jobs and people quitting. Had good pay and decent benefits but not stable.

Too pushy for sales, poor supervisor, lousy pay, no job security
customer service rep (Current Employee), Wisconsin – August 14, 2012
Cons: no breaks, no job security, lousy pay
My one co-worker was awesome and I enjoyed working with her. There is no real job security and you are always pushed to make sales, instead of thinking of how the customer feels about always being asked about these things. The branch manager is a name dropper and always talks about who she knows and what she has been doing. You get lunch, but no breaks.

If u r working for BMO then you know their compter system is old and crashes regularly. If ou are a commercial lender then process is too long and takes weeks to get any deal approved. BMO charges more fees and interest rate than other banks. Interest rate for personal lines of credit is toohigh as compared to other banks. If you are BMO customer then you should be good at negotiating interst rate as BMO never offer best rate to the clients. Personal mortgages are exception t this rule.

I just started this position and am still in training. Therefore, it's hard to say too much under the review tab.

Good place to work but going through change
Service Representative III (Current Employee), Sun Prairie, WI – July 22, 2012
Pros: great co-workers, dedication
Cons: uncertainty, little loyalty to employees trying to advance from within
Overall, this is a good place to work, but because they are going through restructurng, it is hard to be confident in anything that is said. They have the customer as first priority, but there are times when that does not seem like it is the case. The management is good. They want to answer questions that we have, but do not always have the information – more... necessary to do so. My co-workers are amazing. I really enjoy them. The hardest part of the job is the uncertainty. I do not like going to work and not knowing if I will continue to have a job or not. – less

Productive workplace and many opportunites
Service Representative and Teller (Current Employee), Bensenville, IL – July 4, 2012
Pros: commission, insurance, bank at work, hours and flexibility
Cons: not in my career field
On a typical day at work I am very busy helping customers in any questions they have about their accounts, transactions and also offering different accounts to customers. I have learned a lot in this job and it keeps me very busy. I have great co-workers and managers. The hardest part I could honestly say is getting the customers to sit and commit to – more... open an account with a personal banker. Overall, I enjoy my job and the people I work with. Everyday I learn something new. It may be a challenge, but I give it the best of me and go above and beyond for my job. – less

Great benefits; terrible pay
Senior Service Representative (Former Employee), Joliet, IL – June 4, 2012
My co-workers were amazing. We learned a lot from each other. The city region is a better region to work for. The city is more fast paced where the suburbs hold you back. The pay is not that great and you are not guaranteed a yearly raise. Day to day work is very easy and routine.
Learning lesson and I am glad its over.

Non-personable atmosphere, no tact, drama, rules were not consistent.
Teller (Former Employee), Brazil IN – January 11, 2012
Pros: job security, great teller supervisor, became acquainted with clients.
Cons: not enough staff of tellers, no tact if error made, quick to publicly downgrade other personnel.
Company was new to the area. Management from Chicago did not understand country people. Weekly schedules did not allow adequate time for your family. Hours worked each week were never the same. Policies were not consistent.

Excellent.
Coordinator II/ Sr. Processing Technician (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – December 15, 2011
Pros: treatment of employees and excellent benenfits.
One of the best companies I've ever worked for. The company is very accomodating to their employees. The work environment and the pay were excellent. The benefits were great. If I could turn back the hands of time, and do it better, I would work for BMO Harris Bank.
