Pros

-Benefits are good -401k matching that escalates the longer you work there -Challenging work -good vacation time -They will work with you to progress in your current position and help you find other positions in the bank. They try to keep good talent! -Management has a flat structure

Cons

-Pay is average, but I think they reward good work. -Corporate hours can be a little long but that is probably typical

Pros

Good company to work for. Great benefits

Cons

When they do a lay off they tend to let the good ones go. My manager was the best. Always assisting when needed. Knew what was going on & knew her job. Really cared about her people. Now we report to someone that we never see or tries to learn what we even do. We can go days without seeing our new manager. It makes us feel like we are not important.

Pros

Philanthropic organization, competitive pay, products and services I was able to offer clients were competitive. Enjoyed working along-side other ambitious and hardworking salesmen. Newer/smaller markets (outside of OK) are able to locally brand. I enjoyed working in my market in particular, and how the market placed an emphasis on bringing the Sr. level and more green salesmen together in working towards goals. The bank overall has a great story and really seems to want to cater to the clients.

Cons

The story of locally branding has little merit when each market is reporting to management in Tulsa who are not intuitive about the markets they are overseeing. From Tulsa, employees are handed down unrealistic and unattainable sales goals along with a high-pressure sales environment. There is no formal training or on-boarding process. The lack of quality job support in combination with pressure to reach unreasonable goals makes for a cut-throat/kill or be killed work environment. Blatant inappropriate conduct of middle and senior management occurred without being addressed. Communication from management and HR to markets outside of OK is poor. The company is not concerned about investing in the employees for long-term success, but rather to acquire the clients of established bankers.
