Pros

I am currently a college student, and the pay was higher than at other locations, I enjoyed being able to work in an office setting, and the other tellers/front-line staff are very nice.

Cons

Supervisors and upper management have problems relating to employees, praise is rarely given for a job well done, and mistakes are nearly unacceptable.

Pros

Generous vacation, but complain when you use it.

Cons

Extremely unprofessional environment, incompetent management. They don’t actually do auditing, they give you a bunch of clerical work for their arbitrary work papers, that have no significance other than rushing you to get them done in an impossible timeline. CAE makes decisions based on who kisses her ring the most. The ego just for being a CAE at a local bank is laughable. One director makes inappropriate comments consistently. Manager traps his staff auditors in a his office to discuss his dating life. A whole HR nightmare, but then HR does nothing. (This person was reported for inappropriate behavior several times.) DO NOT work here. They also ask their staff to write positive reviews. Also if they offer hybrid work they will pressure you into coming in, and “filling the office” because the CEO regrets building a ridiculous office just to showboat his wealth, and now it’s empty. Spends millions on his art that his underpaid employees get to stare at all day in a glass box. How thoughtful.

Pros

This bank truly knows their customers. It's the strongest bond I've seen in comparison to other banks. Disciplined credit culture, will be around for a long time. Amazing CD rates - highly competitive. Lead system is actually nice and clean as well! Well organized & AMAZING leadership who are extremely genuine and caring. This is what made me pull the trigger and I don't regret it!

Cons

Benefits... :( Unfortunately, the benefits are not on a competitive level compared to other banks. No floating holidays No PTO purchase plan (Many banks allow you to purchase a week vacation) Many banks go as high as 5 weeks vacation for their very tenured people. It doesn't seem that diversity and inclusion is pushed as much as other competitors do. It doesn't seem like the language is coming from the top. I wish there were more opporutunities for incentives - to earn bonus/ commission.
