A great place to work but needs to improve on staff training.
Dislikes
Increasing number of customers based but few staff
As a contract staff, it's somewhat difficult to transit to a full or core staff. Then at the end of the day, after some number of years, like 8 years, people will be led off.
Is actually disheartening. This is the case of over 90% of her contract staff.
Then, inspite of the whole stress that even most of the contract staff work more than the core staff, there is no benefit of any sort, no exposure to loan, no matter how little, no profit sharing....Read More

They organize training for staff once in a while.
Dislikes
The restrictions and culture are unhealthy for young energetic tech persons who are hungry for innovation. It's really difficult to do simple tasks due to security restrictions.
Also, remote work is not allowed.

I like the team spirit amongst the staff
Dislikes
Compensation is decent, but growth is slow. They do not consider proximity at all
Work Details
Generally speaking, my work is slightly challenging due to the fact that where I stay is very far compared to I where I work. But I can still manage pending when proximity will be considered
Good working environment , management and colleagues are good team players
Dislikes
The yearly assurance promotion of staff seems to be segmented to some units

Actually the company is open to innovation and readily adopt latest technology. And I love the fact that I was part of the team that works as a Bulk Teller, and it gave me the opportunity to receive several awards from different beaches I worked with. But I have moved on from the Bank for good after serving for more than nine years.
Dislikes
I dislike their attitude of lack of compensation despite the work pressure and after serving for about nine years, there was no compensation as I was leaving.
Work Details
My work was relatively challenging, as a Bulk Teller in the Bank, I always make sure that I balance and post before leaving for the next day job continuously.

About my teammates, it was wonderful working with them.
The level of training was good.
There's no job security for contract staffs because they are been employed through a consultant firm.
Career growth was much, salary wasn't that good despite the appraisals. Traveling is once in a while, their might be politics. Learning, work environment, innovation & work- life balance was good.
Dislikes
The contract staff are not been giving enough room for growth, instead they will hire the ones they call experience ones and you the contract staff will still be the one to put them through.
Work Details
Sometimes it will be hectic but I really enjoyed working with them not because they are that good but because of the people I worked with. They made the environment too good for me

The teammates are quite a handful,just learn to sieve the good from the bad.The career growth is pretty slow now;especially at middle mgt.You will see people as long as 8 yrs on a grade if you are in ops and to shake;they push you to marketing-a life many don't survive.Their trainng is okay;while workenviron you will make do.
Dislikes
The process flow for operations was quite slow at the beginning;i hope it will get better.While the appraisal though online yet still subjective.
Work Details
It was quite hectic in operations with documents strewn here & there,but in marketing the drive to book facilities was quite dreadful

Staff welfare is nothing to write home about. Promotion now depends on whom you know . Training is no longer given the deserved attention. No reasonable career development. Pensioners are horribly oppressed. The pensioners unlike what their counterparts enjoyed are highly traumatised. No palliative during this pandemic. Meanwhile the bank keep donating billions to assist govt when its pensioners are merely getting about N5,000 or N15,000 per month. They are dying daily from poverty....Read More
