Highly toxic culture

Pros

Columbia, SC doesn't offer many employment opportunities with large organizations with competitive pay -- AgFirst is pretty much it. In the beginning, the salary seems competitive and the benefits are good.

Cons

Once working within this organization you eventually find out that your growth is limited and the pay becomes quickly out of alignment with the work you are performing and the market rate. Job descriptions change on a dime without additional compensation and the toxic culture is not worth it. They scream from the rooftops that their employees are important and so is their culture but it is a farce. If you go against the status quo in any way, you are targeted and held accountable for the mistakes of everyone else. Everyone is expected to do more, constantly, without regard for bandwidth. The pace is not sustainable and the mediocre leadership is rewarded because of the "good ol boy's club." They have great-sounding core values that mean absolutely nothing. There isn't a progressive thing about this organization. They are a stodgy bank with archaic systems and ways of thinking. This place quickly takes a toll on the strongest and best employees.

Pros

great benefits, lots of exciting work. most of the people worked with are great, some stuck in their old ways, but that's every company

Cons

HR department sucks, I was talked out of taking FMLA then got fired few months after getting out of the hospital. Getting cobra was a struggle, and new employer tried contacting them to verify employment dates and they never responded.
