Pros

The only pro that I've found in working for this company is sheer employment. It's a paycheck that doesn't meet industry stands for the amount of work, but a paycheck nonetheless.

Cons

The infrastructure is a JOKE. There is no system alignment and there are more than 10 different applications used at any one time for minor tasks. The software is buggy and always lags. Management treats staff like cattle, and reduce two 15 minute breaks / 1 hour lunch to two 10 minute breaks / 30 minute lunch often because they are grossly understaffed. Like most companies, HR protects the company not the employees, so don't expect much help with bullying and harassment from coworkers. There is very little opportunity for development, and you're expected to learn new software and skills in between phone calls.

Steady job, but don't expect to grow here

Pros

Good benefits and a stable paycheck. There are people here doing genuinely strong work and trying to build things the right way. Some leaders are approachable and mean well.

Cons

Concerns get heard but rarely resolved. You'll get a warm, sympathetic response and then nothing changes. If you raise the same issue again, you get the same warm response again. Job responsibilities tend to grow well past what the role is classified and paid for, with no adjustment in title or compensation to match. Being direct or setting boundaries about workload gets read as a personality problem instead of a legitimate concern. Compensation doesn't always reflect the level of work being done, especially compared to peers doing similar jobs. There's no meaningful career path or growth programming. Something I didn't know before joining, and wish I had, is that the headquarters is essentially an art museum, the bank owns a private collection and gives tours of the building. It's a striking level of investment in physical spaces. In hindsight, that would have prompted me to ask more pointed questions in my interview about employee development and career growth, because that same level of investment doesn't extend to training programs or growth paths for staff. If you're interviewing here, ask specifically what career progression looks like and what's budgeted for employee development, not just what the office looks like.

PTO Yes! Pay - Trash!

Pros

4 weeks starting of PTO and 6 weeks when you begin your fourth year. Flexibility and open to changes when suggested.

Cons

Poor software investment and always has issues! Investment is always in branch decor and opulence. Below industry standards pay scales and employee retention. Very little investment in the people or raises. Some raises are just an insult and the ones getting them are paid way below market value. Very poor lending
