I have banked at this branch before it was even Citibank. The current manager has ruined the location. Actually, I have only been the last three months because I switched my account to another bank. Unfortunately, due to bills being paid online, I left this account open temporarily. So if they have changed managers from the gentlemen, my apologies.
Over a year ago the hours changed from to 10:00 - 5:00 so the shortest banking hours around. One of the tellers told me that they took a survey to ask customers and that they may still welcome input. When I mentioned my thoughts to the manager, he was very cold. He did his polite okay but in no way offered any helpful insight or asked if he could assist in anyway. He felt like a recent MBA grad with no real world experience working with people just text book skills.
Then, one day I made a comment to a teller about there not being any people in line. I jokingly said, "What are doing running people off." The tellers all know me very well, so I guess she felt comfortable telling me, "Yes. The new manager said the people that are problematic usually don't have any money anyway so we don't have to be nice to them. If we lose their business its fine." (paraphrase but same intention) All of my thoughts were confirmed.
Over the past three years this brach has been free falling. All of the wonderful employees they have had have disappeared except for one lovely teller. There are a couple of other nice tellers as well of course but it is the upper managements decisions that have made this branch and Citibank as a whole, unwelcoming.
Goodbye Citibank! read more
