First Hand

Bank of Hampton Roads (1 stars)
Having worked at this bank for four years, I have first hand experience with its inner workings. Trying to take over Gateway and Shore Bank-- I think we all know that was a big mistake. I mean, they couldn't even afford the raises promised to their employees after that. Then Jack Gibson is forced out... Embarrassing to say the least... In fact, all of their former "head honchos" are gone... Stocks have plummeted... Things are falling apart left and right. Not only do the high and mighty ones at corporate headquarters mistreat their employees, but the customers are allowed to curse at employees, say crude and vile things to employees, inappropriately touch employees, you name it-- it has probably happened. If you can't make your employees stick around, you certainly cannot make customers stick around. BoHR's fees are high, and their rates are lousy. It would be wise to take your money to a more stable institution.

It is a one-star (from bank rate) bank, I am not surprised that it is badly managed.
