Wallis Bank

Before I give my two cents regarding Wallis Bank, I truthfully can say I would work for this bank again if my personal circumstances change. My experience revolves around the lending/credit departments and I do not believe I have enough experience to comment on any of the other departments or their work life culture. Overall, I am very thankful for the opportunity to work at Wallis Bank.

As for the lending/credit departments, your workflow will be continuous and just about more than you can handle. However, the managers understand how stressful and time consuming your work can be, so as long as you can complete some work and show progress towards total completion of a project in somewhat of a timely fashion you will be fine. The job is usually only stressful if Management is pushing for a fast turn around on a loan which is often or the customer is slow, unresponsive, or unhelpful. Training will start as two weeks in a classroom like setting. Then on the job training with an experienced individual for your first project if you are green with no experience; otherwise, you are thrown into your first project. However, everyone is usually helpful and will guide you, and you will have many previous projects to use as examples. 

The pay usually matches the market and raises will be small percentage increases unless you go far and beyond expectations. The benefits are about the same as any other company. The experience of working at Wallis Bank (for a few years) is also a benefit as other banks in the area tend to hire former Wallis Bank employees. During my employment, remote work was only allowed in certain circumstances, and I would say the working hours are inflexible. Pretty much 9 to 5  or 8 to 4:30.



Most of the time it is overwhelming, the pay rate is too low and despite of giving your best and being the best employee in team the raise is less then inflation. about 5-8% annually, only 18 PTO, no sick leaves.
This bank expect you to work as much as 3 people with average pay rate of $20/hour.
your supervisor cares for his promotions and no attention to your growth or raise at all.
The system is outdated and too old, lot of paper wastage. poorly unorganized. lot of politics.

though no one will blame you or try to subpress you. the top people will just give you too much work but making mistakes is okay.

easier to get in as fresher and good stepping stone for career boost
Most of time its too busy

Manager was grieving the loss of their spouse, didn’t want to hire anyone, their boss did the hiring, the manager had been written up and was afraid to lose their job, wouldn’t work well with anyone, spent the first weeks of training trying to find a reason to fire me within HR written guidelines, was told they could not do that, accepted they had to work with me, spoke down to employees, and then had a nervous breakdown at work, I stayed a year, put in my resignation after a year deciding not to stay a 2nd year, and enough is enough. They were gone from the company 3 months later. 

My job, as I view it, is to support the Board and upper management through accurate and timely financial reporting in order to facilitate their ability to make informed financial decisions that will benefit our shareholders (80% family owned).   We do not have the technology in place to support my mission in my job.

Further, I feel underappreciated.  My father died in March and I took 80 hours off between hospital/hospice/funeral/helping  my mom.  I will end the year at a negative 48 hours.  I work many late nights and weekends.  The company offered to allow me to "borrow" against next year's PTO to cover the deficit.  I told them not to pay me.

Great people to work with without a doubt. I’ve worked with coworkers that worker over 25 years. And they don’t plan to leave  Overall, it’s a decent family small bank. However, it’s who you know to get promoted. Their system are still slow and it’s gotten worse in 2022. At least 3 hour of wasted hours without doing anything. We would refuse large withdrawals when system were down. IT try there best but their old servers can’t keep up with high demand. After 2 years providing service to clients, it was time to pack up and wish nothing but the very best to the next candidate. Tip, run. 

While work/life balance was good, this is not the company to work for. To be specific the Dunwoody branch.There is no room for growth and advancement. While you’ll be performing different job tasks, you more than likely won’t advance at all. Management will make you think you’re going to advance and they will sell you many dreams to keep you there. The atmosphere is filled with drama that no employee should have to witness. From a professional banker to another, STAY AWAY! There’s other banks but this one isn’t it! 

This Bank is an absolute wonderful bank to work for I absolutely love my job. First I worked at at least 4 other banks in my career, they were all larger then Wallis but here I learn and laugh every day, I am paid better then I ever was before and I feel more respected then I ever was before, true I new so I can’t honestly say about how promotions go or raises but I don’t think people would stay at the same place for 10 and 20 years and most employees here have been here along time! So they must be doing something right!

You get hired as one thing and once you start working they just put you at whatever branch is short staffed. You won’t even be doing what your job title is. They sale you on promises of moving up in the company which is all a lie because they promote only the people who are their friends or who they are related to. Company is very unorganized, system always have issues, low pay and you will not feel valued at this company at all.
