BB&T Employee Holly Rhines, Shines
Nov 21st, 2009 | By admin | Category: BB&T Employee Emails, Top StoryThe following is an unedited email sent to us by a BB&T employee named Holly Rhines.
We think it speaks for itself. . .
==================================================
You poor pathetic little person that probably was once fired from BB&T
and now have become bitter over the 9th largest Bank in the U.S. ,
whom of which could care less about a $40K or lower former employee.
Do you honestly believe that these insignificant court cases you
report on actually effect BB&T?! Let me enlighten your world – it’s
just a waste of time for the bitter, bored people like yourself and is
entertaining for the 300,000 +/- employees of the Bank. So go on,
have fun reporting these “significant” life altering cases – that in
all reality – do not effect BB&T Corporation.
If this is your only worth in the world – go for it. It’s a free
country, right?! I’m glad to know that BB&T does not hire or keep on
staff people of your caliber.
Enjoy.

I believe Holly meant to reference BB&T’s approximately 30,000 employees rather than 300,000. As for her errors in grammar and puntuation, we can write these off to her reply being constructed while in an excitable stage. Her attitude? Well, let’s just say this: “Her pretty smile belies a very dark and murky spirit.”
I found your site by trying to start a website about BB&T.Holly sounds like the person I just talked to at BB&T only bigger teeth
I have read this several times,and I am convinced there must be a trainning class for BB&T employees In how to present themselfs as unprofessional.That same attitude in in ther Sanford Offices
That college education is sure paying off for her!, From the way she counts she must be the one that does the nightly audits! No wonder the accounts stay screwed up! LOL
Attempted to refinance home loan with BB&T. FICOs of 785+. Limited debt. Ample income. In short, great candidates for refinance to shorten term and reduce rate. Agent at BB&T took days to respond to each inquiry. Time ran short. Rate lock was set to expire. BB&T then worked very hard in that last 3 business days to get everything finished. In the end, I was unhappy with this lethargic approach so I told them to go eat one. Refinanced with the Bank of Condomville with a great rate. It wasn’t very hard (at first). With a little coaxing it got there.
I was at BB&T today and they were very rude and argumentative. These people have forgotten whose money they are handling. They work for us. We are paying them. They have gotten too big and thank we owe them something. Well, we don’t. We owe them a kick in the rear. Everyone should take their money out and go to another bank! When I went to the bank, they acted like the problem was my fault and it was their fault! They were supposed to stop payment on a check and charged me 34.00 dollars and cashed the check anyway. Then they said it was an electronic transfer. I told them that I did not authorize an electronic transfer and that it was a check. The “woman” that was helping me was an auditor for the company and was a real smart ass bitch! The company doesn’t care about its customers, only about ripping off as many people as it can. They have become greedy bastards and I hope everyone closes their account with them and goes to a credit union or small town bank.
Yea, she does look like your token BB&T slut. A pretty face, a sharp tongue, and damn good lying abilities.
I see her college education has served her well, as others have stated. Good grammar, and word usage. I’ll laugh when BB&T starts taking on water and she’s one of the ones thrown overboard.
Can you say expendable, b*tch?
I have brought this site to the attention of a SR Vice President of BB&T. I hope that he will take the time to look at this part in particular and realize the light that this young lady has portrayed on the company. Regardless of the entire picture, it is my hope that this young lady will find herself unemployed, in short order.
Stephen you are a bigger prick than she is young and gullible.

To: BB&T SUCKS.COM; I am a successful custom home builder in the Atlanta area. I have been a customer of BB&T for over 16 years, via BB&T’s acquisition of Mainstreet Bank. I was considered an A rated customer and had numerous banks positioning to loan my companies over $27 million dollars in construction and development loans. I run my companies on the conservation side and therefore have been able to survive ( so far ) this horrible housing market. BB&T has been, by far, the worst bank that I have “ever” dealt with. My reward for paying them, millions of dollars in interest, is to be treated as merely a debtor.. Yes, I am no longer a customer, I am merely a debtor to the bank. Construction loans are short term notes that generally expire in 12 months to 18 months. All of my other banks recognize the market is an unforeseen and unprecedented event and renew the notes without incident, nor fees, as long as they are paid on time. The other banks appreciate an old school business attitude I have. I believe in trying to do the right thing and my intent is to pay every dime of monies I have borrowed.
The problem with BB&T is that, even when a loan is stable, when they still have plenty of equity, I am paying my interest, etc.., they want more… Instead of treating me as a “banking partner”, as they used to say, they treat me as the daily trash. My reward is to be charged 1% renewal fees on top of doubling my interest rates on my loans. They are able to use their back breaking tactics, since we are “renewing” the loans. To make matters worse, they have made me go through this ordeal every three months. So every three months I get to pay their ransom ( as the say renew with our terms or we foreclose ), pay their renewal fees, pay them their interest and suffer their constant delay tactics and lies.. This bank is an American disgrace!! Every American deserves better than this. They took three billion in TARP money from me and you, under the pretense that they would lend money. What a freakin joke! This bank just became more powerful and became less motivated to work with their customers, that were in need. This bank will fall, big, one day. I will be cheering and dancing in the streets when this piece of shit bank fails.

As of 2 weeks ago, I no longer work for BB&T. Actually got terminated for excessive tardiness, but get this: had been there 11 years late several times but no more than 30 minutes, never was written up until a few months ago after I started questioning the “boss” about her managing abilities. Yes, yes, hindsight is 20 20, but I’m not one to keep my mouth shut. I had been unhappy there for several years due to the recent corporate changes and operational practices. Yes, BB&T is out to make money. If you don’t have over $25,000 on deposit there, I wouldn’t bank there. They will find a way to squeeze in a fee. No, it’s not a government agency and shouldn’t be looked at that way, but come on, make money on interest and debit card interchange, not on playing tricks with your client’s money. The goal is to help the clients, not hurt them. they have those employees so brainwashed, poor Holly, she will see the light one day when they treat her like they treated me. They use you, work the crap out of you, but as soon as you show you’re human and stand up for yourself then they hang you out to dry. They don’t know a good employee when they see one. (Say what you will about grammar, this is not a freaking English test. I am no longer working so I could care less if this venting is spelled right.) Who cares?
i am a current bb&t employee and i do not find this article hard to believe at all…. while enjoying the knowledge I’ve acquired in my position.. my coworkers, I could do without. They are very judgemental and very small minded. Ive witnessed them hire a young lady at a level II position, making over 30k a year, straight out of college with a degree, that is awesome and kudos to her, however, had virtually no experience for the position she was given , .. over another candidate whom was later brough in as a level one (b/t 23&27 a year) whom had over 15 years experience with another financial institution in the exact field.. wow. I strongly believe race played a huge issue in that, and refuse to believe any different. The college grad was also friends with the manager’s daughter might i add. Also, i had been refused several attempts to bid on higher levels within by department, however others with no experience were and continue to be brought in over me. I am livid over that , due to, half the time, I’m assisting them with resolving complex issues or having to re-work their cases where they’ve screwed up clients accounts. Management in other departments seem to believe that because of their title ,they can speak to you any type of way. however, I beg to differ and have virbally communicated this to them. I’ve learned to deal with the path that I chose for my life . Looking back I would have gone to a 4 year college rather than pursue cosmetology as I did. I still use that license everyday, however a regular 9to5 provides benefits for myself and my 2 daughters. I am a single mom by choice. I refused to marry my kids father just because he fathered my children. I’m a firm believer in “I can do bad by myself”… so the cheating and disrespect I eliminated. It’s a struggle, however the best gift I can give to my girls is to show them not to settle. And also, always have a piece of mind knowing that you don’t have to depend on anyone. Love will come, and then you build ~together. I can talk all day
, but my point is… BB&T is big on color and paper. If you are “white” with a degree you are “qualified ” for a position.. the fact that you have no common sense , morals or experience does not matter. I’m very intelligent, I know my job and also take on the role of higher levels. Was even selected by management , to be the “only” contact /or “go to ” during their acquisition of Colonial. That should say something about my capabilities. But because I’m outspoken, and believe that an adminstrative assistant should not be able to supervise a department making daily entries on gl accounts, Im wrong and not able to advance. huh , i think not. I think that your performance should do the talking. 
Its paying the bills now, so, I will continue to do the best on my position. Continue to make sure my clients accounts are handled, resolving any issues immediately,. If i am escorted from my desk because I tell an Operations Officer, that she is not my mother when she tells me that I need to shut up and listen when she calls me for help after she totally screwed up someones account and cost center .. then so be it. Your title does not dictate your knowledge. Your title in itself should be the very reason that you act professional at all times and display client service internally as well as externally. And until BB&T employees do away with their “uppity” way of thinking and deal with the diversity that comes along with the growth of this corporation… they are doomed to fail. all of that customer service excellence they preach, doesn’t mean anything if you treat your employees and co workers like crap. It only takes a second to say hello. we shoould learn to treat others as we like to be treated.
these people just terminated my friend. 8 years perfect performance record over 40 ERROR! Not theft error!!! they care nothing about people and won’t deny it. another too big to arrogant bank. support smaller banks that support small business.
