Pros

Solid company to work for and work with. Everyone is encouraged to have a voice and contribute to our overall mission, which is to diligently serve our clients. I, personally, appreciate how management takes the time to collaborate with everyone as we discuss and determine best practices that are tied with our mission.

Cons

Every company has cons and areas for refinement, but overall, I'm very satisfied with my three years working for Academy Bank. I know many people that I've worked with here, while good people, didn't have much of a work ethic, so they've moved on and haven't provided accurate opinions. Just my two cents, take it or leave it.

Pros

A regional and medium sized bank that has the guts to invest and compete with the big banks while still placing a priority on understanding and valuing the customer. It's a private, family-owned and operated business and everyone has access to the CEO. Ownership and upper management do not shy away from issues and are constantly evaluating how to improve. The atmosphere is friendly but competitive and strives to maximize the talents of each associate. If you're willing to work hard and are motivated to solve internal and external issues, you will be recognized and rewarded. This banks seeks to grow and profit which can be both exciting and stressful but equally important is maintaining a family-oriented and compassionate environment.

Cons

The bank has all the technology to meet customer needs, but management still dedicates a huge amount of resources to providing live and person to person customer service solutions through branches, call center, web chat and free financial education, counseling and assistance. Even with these efforts, the bank still often struggles to fully meet demand (call hold times can be frustrating).
