Which Bank Do You Work For, CAG?

CAG, your sad and transparent attempt to disparage an obvious threat to your institution is an embarrassment.  Please try to elevate the level of the conversation.

Opus Bank - Customer Service
1 stars - CAG - Monday, November 21, 2011 - 7:30 PM

The bank is well capitalized and growing quickly but the personnel is generally second-tier. Customer service is very poor. Not a business bank.
