4.0

Retail banking focused on member needs.

Written by Manager (Current Employee) from Ottawa, ON on 2 January 2020

Alterna Savings is a member-facing financial institution. Even though Alterna operates in the same retail banking environment as the banks, there is less sales pressure. There is a heightened focus on member needs. My experience has been supportive and collaborative for the most part. As with any business, there is always a focus towards doing more - more...

Pros

Great work/life balance

Cons

Smaller institution, so total compensation package is a bit below avg

Sometimes productive

Written by Customer Service Representative (CSR) (Former Employee) from Ottawa East, ON on 9 September 2019

Horrible place to work. Forced to make calls to their members. Pressures staff to make sales. Management, especially certain branches are all competing at being number one at all cost. I worked at branch and was constantly bullied by the manager. She would turn other staff members against you if you did not agree with her. She would lie to your face - more...

Pros

Good benefits

Cons

You are expected to do activites with the staff on your days off, for instance attend birthday parties and so on. If you do mot go, my manager would say that You are not a team playet.
