Pros

Interesting and challenging projects on paper. Higher Base pay relatively.

Cons

Absolute horrific micromanagement culture. Nobody from top to bottom has any idea what they want to achieve and why. All are clueless and they present you a complete project to do all alone without any guidance or sense of direction. All this while you get questioned for every small thing you do and you spend most of your time spoon feeding the skill less managers/directors on how we are doing things. Majority of projects are done to impress the higher management and i did not see any major project going to production which actually adds some realistic value to anything. I have had 7 different supervisors before this and i only have good things to say about them, but here it was full of hypocrisy and micromanagement throughout single day. I have never written a review before and trust me my only reason of writing here is to save somebody. They lure by saying things like this is absolutely the best place to work but since management is inexperienced and clueless, its exactly the opposite. Apart from high base pay, there is no other benefit which stands out. Expensive health insurance and 3 free T-shirts. They have good developers but management is absolutely horrible. Almost everybody i knew was trying to find another job

Pros

There is a reason Bank of the Ozarks has ranked as the top performing bank in the nation for the past seven years, a culture of excellence. It is refreshing to work for a company where each employee strives to not just be good, not just be great, but to be excellent in everything they do. Employees who service external customers perform at a high level because they are supported by employees internally who perform at a high level. The environment here is one of mutual trust and respect. I have never worked at a company as respectful as Bank of the Ozarks. The benefits are great, the opportunity for advancement is way above average because of our growth and success, but at the end of the day, its being part of a winning team, working for a company with high standards and ethics which makes it all worthwhile.

Cons

If you are a slacker, this isn't the place for you. My observation is the bank hires top performers and employees with potential to grow.

Pros

No real goals to reach compared to other regional banks' goals. Decent products and services offered. Overall easy workload in today's cut throat banking scene.

Cons

Detached management. Corporate looks down their noses at branch personnel. Watch your back !! Discrimination and double standards abound due to age, lifestyle choices, etc. Trust no one ! Especially outside your local personnel. Spies abound !!
