Amegy Bank

The company offers a program for college grads seeking a career in banking which defines a definite career path, as well as a mentoring program. Outside of that... you will definitely have to take your professional development into your own hands, and with persistence.  Most managers do not take the time to develop their employees to a higher career path.  If you are fortunate enough to have a manager promote you and your efforts in your career development, consider a rare event. 

Thanks to candid efforts of a former employee, the company now strongly promotes Diversity and Inclusion within the organization - but from my seat, they are a long way from a feeling of complete inclusion amongst all of the employees. I've been with the company for over 10 years and at times I do feel like an outsider, being left off of communications and unaware of changes within my own unit.

If you are housed in their new Headquarters located in the Galleria area, the building accommodates many spaces to rest, recreation and even dine on an elevated balcony. As far as a work-life balance, there are options as far as working from home, but this is MOSTLY up to your manager and the business unit, in which you work. 

Statistically, this bank does exceptionally well in their productivity and is very competitive in their market. Their customer retention is amazing. If you are a customer-service oriented person, this is definitely the place for you! 

Job salaries are also competitive in comparison to similar job titles - however again depending on the support of your manager, you may not expect to see significant salary increases based solely on your merit, and value that you have contributed.

There are countless opportunities to be a part of the community and volunteer! This bank partners with some of the largest organizations and you are able to volunteer for many events throughout the year. They also offer bonuses and incentive plans for many of the revenue generating business units. 

Most employees here are good-nature people and sincerely like being a part of the organization. The executive leaders are very personable and actually know a high percentage of "who" the employees are, which is commendable.

I can say that the ideology of the company’s core values is truly one that allows people to get behind and support!   There is a sense of small bank feel with big bank products.  The customers appreciate the personal touch that many “BIG” banks forget. 

It was the lack of support that upper management failed to deliver.   The talk was there but when it came down to delivering it fell flat.   I should clarify that when I say “upper management” It was more so mid management.    Specifically more of the Retail Area Management.   The Executive Management always seem to stay consistent with their actions and words.   The Retail Area Mgmnt lacked the commitment and consistency of being great leaders.   

The Field Operations Management (aka Auditors) are in consistent with holding the branches accountable to the company’s policy and procedures, based on the regions.   When challenging results or findings of internal audits - be sure to document and have your support to back yourself up.   Even then don’t get your hopes up.   I was even told that if I wanted to “continue to press a matter” that I could but that ... and I quote verbatim “you will loose so you decide”.    Classless.

As an Administrative Assistant/Receptionist in the HR department. I wore many hats. I provided customer service for the entire bank. All internal and external customers were routed to me. Calls included benefit questions, tuition reimbursement information, payroll questions, employment verifications, recruiting questions just to name a few. I supported the HR recruiters which included pulling resumes, pre-screening candidates, pulled up all information needed in Taleo and scheduled and confirmed interviews. I also maintained the HR Managers 'calendars which included setting up meetings and travel.

While at Amegy I  successfully met customers needs with a tactful and compassionate attitude and always took ownership of their issue to completion with confidence. My number one priority was providing the best customer service possible.

Our HR department had great managers that never hesitated to assist their employees when needed.

Being a team player played a big part in meeting our goals and the bank goals. We had a great team that worked very well together.

While working at Amegy there wasn't anything hard about the job, but every day there was something new to learn. We were provided with excellent training when needed.

The most enjoyable part of my job was coming to work every day and working with the best HR team ever.

Amegy Bank is a tough place to work at. Although the environment is more relaxed than the bigger banks, It's too stressful a place due to the quality management and employees hired. Every branch seems to have a problem, and although I do believe that you can't have a perfect workplace, I haven't had such a stressful job at any company either (and I have been working a long time). Attitude of the management is bad and the employees they hire just work for money. In the end it became too stressful for me at work and I started making mistakes, which resulted in the termination of my employment. I wish I was giving a choice of resignation but oh well, it isn't the company culture. Don't want to badmouth them as they were the source of my income, but I don't have good memories about them and I really wish I quit long before I knew I would start making mistakes due to the bad work environment. They don't compensate for or recognize hard work, just when you do something wrong they will be all over you. Just work there part time if you really need pocket money while studying or you can't afford to do anything else at the moment. Not a career choice.

Coordinated and set up all seminars, off-site managers meetings, excellent negotiating skills (contracts, hotels, meeting venues, catering events, etc.), frontline representative of the organization, screeing phone calls for VP, fielding inquires and directing requests for information to the proper channels.

Expense Reports, Order and maintain a fully organized inventory of office supplies and products to maximize sales staff efforts while continually coming in under budget. Responsible for payment of invoices. Responsible for keeping employee vacation and sick leave time (and tracking it).

Contribute to the team effort through a personal philosophy of "no job is too small" by offering assistance where needed, accomplishing any number of tasks well outside the traditional scope of assigned job responsibilities.

I was totally responsible for cleaning the file room that was negleted for many years. I was able to get the project done withing a 6 month period of time.

I learned how to take on a project as large as this was with the encouragement from my Manager and was able to complete the assignment along with Excel spreadsheets, copying and faxing documents. I though it would have taken a lot longer.

My manager was the best anyone could ever have. She was totally supportive and made me feel like I was as important as the other executive members of the department. She worked right along with you to get mailing out to the board members.

My co-workers got along really fine with me. We also saw each other outside the work envoirnment which is rare in most other jobs that I had. I think a lot had to do with the type of job being with the Human Resource department.

The hardest part of the job was when the job ended due to Zions Bancorporation moving the department to Salt Lake City, Utah.

The most enjoyable part of the job was the experience of managing three (3) temporary employees to help me complete an assignment.

I enjoyed working for this company. I loved the office environment and the office activities they provided until covid hit and we were sent home to work until recently laid off due to the economy.  However, I learned a lot from my coworkers and from management and many other depts.  The most challenging part of my job was trying to calculate a self-employed income borrower with 10 plus businesses but there was always someone on my team who was willing to work with me if I thought I needed my calculations to be checked.  My favorite part of my job was when I was able to get each and every borrower to the closing table whether it be for a new home purchase, a refinance or a construction loan. I loved working here and I would definitely return to this company if ever provided another opportunity.  This was by far, they best company I have ever had the pleasure in working with. 

The work/life balance is great. Within different departments if you do not have to interface with customers, your Manager allows you to have a flexible schedule--whether you want to come in earlier or later and leave early or stay late. There isn't any overtime. The compensation is pretty good, but the benefits are not so great. You're pretty much paying for everything and the copays are extremely high. If possible, use your spouses insurance. The 401k is really horrible. The company isn't doing that great, so of course in return you don't get much for your 401k. They match the first 3% @ 100% and then match the next 2% @ 50%. Job security isn't there due to a lot of changes through the Bancorp. They are moving people around and laying others off. Most of Management has been there since the bank opened and have advanced due to the time they have put in versus actually knowing how to get the job done. The culture of the job is to get your work done, no micromanaging, and go home.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Empowerment to managers and employees.
Clear directions and support from upper management. Realized what I lost by moving to another state and different bank.
I felt that my years of experience counted when making decisions. Their hiring was becoming less talented but they have reverse course for the best. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
We stress at every banking job, when you handle other people money is very serious matter. Amegy allows you to think for yourself and supervisors are not micro managers. This way employees are allow to grow and matured in their roles.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Honesty without fearing retaliation.
Constructive feedback and desire to do  your best is always at front of every interaction.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Task oriented and individual thinkers and team cooperation in balance.

Typical day starts with getting the clients into the system, processing their schedule and fund their account in a timely manner. Every schedule must be processed for the day, then we started on the next business day work to keep up with the demand of factoring invoices.
I learned a lot working at the bank, everything is fast paced because you have to balance at the end of the day. Must be organized to keep up with the demand of day to day processes. Management is not where it needs to be, in being considerate of hard working employees. The hardest part of the job was getting what you needed from your fellow co-worker because of the process. The most enjoyable part is everybody working together for the common goal and that was getting schedules processed and funded in a timely manner.
