Alpine Bank reviews

The credit department has shifted since Covid and has experienced department changing turnover: resulting in continued stress for the team. After progressing through department there are limited opportunities for growth or pay increases. Pressure from loss of personnel has lead to a few corner cuts and means analysis is more dependent on just getting it out the door than truly considering all risk factors. A drive for productivity leads to constant worries about meeting quotas and impacts analyst/lender relationships as time/need to turn files becomes priority. Stressed managers have lead to crumbling relationships with existing analysts; demotion, termination, gossip, pettiness has driven the team over the last year and created a toxic and unfriendly atmosphere. You get the feeling you are being watched for mistakes and that there is not trust placed on analysts from managers, some officers or other departments. The role is heavily micromanaged and a successful analyst most be good at taking feedback for all aspects of their job. You will often run into inconsistent direction/underwriting practices.

There’s a focus on quantity rather than quality. Monthly loan totals are everything. Lack of initial training. Training consists of learning how to spread with no help in regards to financial analysis. Toxic, dramatic, unappreciative work culture within the CA department High turnover, Negativity, Gossip, Double-standards are apparent Don’t ask the same question twice, or else…. You are subject to demotions. Promotions appear to be random Lack of pay! You’ll make more money somewhere else
