When Polyanna Unruh first joined Bank of America in 2019 as a relationship banker at a Nevada branch, one of the first things she did was get acquainted with the organization’s benefits and employee resources. And she liked what she found.
Bank of America offers $7,500 worth of tuition assistance per employee per year, which can be used towards professional certifications or degrees. For Unruh, who had moved to the U.S. from Brazil in 2017 with nothing more than a high school diploma on her educational resume, these benefits offered a roadmap to more than a job in finance, but a long-term career.
