TCF Bank Employer Reviews

Mainly I learned how to multi-task effectively as well as adhere to specific deadlines.

Hours were fair, pay was okay. I would recommend the company.

Values sales over service. Every customer was just another number, highly stressful ecause of pressure with sales

My branch is great. A good stepping stone:) co worker aren't the greatest. You learn the banking atmosphere.

This particular bank should be considered as an entry level banking job due to the type of customers and level of education in regards to staff. Mostly, the customers are either grandfathered in here in Michigan from what was known as Great Lakes bank at one point, or, either students entering college or still in college. They had stopped offering investments – more... as soon as I was promoted to Assistant Sales Manager, which was a little discouraging but nontheless revenue from the bank was generated mostly from fees, fees, and more fees. So, it is definetly a place to build your tollerence for upset customers, and is also a place to work in a fast paced somewhat stressful enviroment because of normal teller work. – less

Easy to get promoted.
Great customer service.
Great management.

If you are looking for a job in banking, GO ELSEWHERE. Trust me on this one.

Working for this bank isn't the best. With little life balance and not enough information on selling products, I find myself failing and not promising myself with a better and secure position at this job.

The worst bank to work for. Lot of shady stuff goes on to open accounts.

A typical day at work consists of processing bank transactions such as deposits, withdrawals, tranfers, check issues and sales. I have learned that every customer has a different need and you can not handle every situation the same. The hardest part of the job is not being able to help a customer because of something beyond your means and control, Best – more... part of the job is the interaction with customers I learn something new everyday. – less

The hours are good except on the weekends, no benifts or pto even if you earned it. Management is the worst. Cannot trust in the regional or branch manager. Breaks weren't even full 30 min and they took it out of paycheck. I will never go back

Very long days and hours...more convient for customers who enjoys shopping and banking in one place.

Good place to work. Good incentive program. Great advancement opportunities.

when i get there everyone greets you and motivates you to help customers. i learned that if you help a customer good things would go back to you. management was always ther to help. coworkers always tried to help out. hardest part of the job was when i was let go due to sale goals. most enjoyable part of the job was coming in to work.

Great place to work while you're in college. Otherwise, not good for a career. Compensation is low.

TCF is a great company to work for, allowing for flexible scheduling, great benefits, and advancement opportunities for entry level employees. The environment is fast paced and fun.

Went from teller, to supervisor, to loan officer and then branch lending manager. My immediate managers have always been great and have taught me how to manage and motivate. Co-workers were always a pleasure to work with. From teller to manager you have goals, and it is sales-based, so you have to hit those goals. I enjoyed it. Toughest part about the – more... job can sometimes be upper management. SOME of them tend to abuse their power, as in most companies I've worked for. They have an, "I earned this position so I am way better than you," attitude. Some... not all. – less

A typical day consisted of meetings with daily scheduled one on ones with the management staff on duty for that day focusing on sales achievements as well as any operation issues. Interaction with customers and handling customer issues as well as maintaining relationships and creating new relationships with new customers. Attracting customers through – more... our scheduled in aisle time and public announcements. Following up with back room departments and emails. Conducting monthly and daily meetings with branch personnel as well as monthly meetings for the all the Assistant managers and Supervisors in the region. Worked as acting Regional Manager when Regional was on vacation. In charge of many reports for the region and submitted them on a regular basis for regional review. Coached and observed sales associates and worked with them on advancement in the company. Promoted 10+ employees into the management position in the 4+ years as a Branch Manager. Worked with all Branch Managers in the region to maintain a sales and operations oriented environment in the branches. Reintroduced in aisle sales mystery shoppers to increase sales production in the branches and also other different plans to increase production as well as increased operations knowledge. The hardest part of the job was to leave work at work. Most of the times I would have to bring work home as well as being a resource for the region I would not only get calls for needing assistance from my branch but also the other branches in the region. I loved working at TCF because of the fast paced environment of sales and the daily customer interaction. – less

The company is very sales aggressive and has a poor reputation in the Chicago market. A majority of locations are located inside of Jewel-Osco food stores and open 7 days a week (only closed on Christmas day). This is not a bad place to gain experience and move on although I will say that the company does a great job of promoting from within which allows – more... people to actually grow with the company the only problem is the salaries and pay are very low compared to other companies in the same industry in Chicago. – less

My Typical day at work was taking calls non stop all day for the most part, I Learned a lot about how the banking system works, the management was always very helpful with things, There just wasn't always enough managers to help you. My co-workers were fantastic everyone I had contact with at this company was very polite and friendly.
