Pros

Product Discounts, Time Off, work from home, but that's mostly because management doesn't care if you show up or not.

Cons

The IT Department is pathetic from the top down, minus a few great employees. Management offers zero direction, the skill set of 90% of the employees is average at best. The highest level of IT management in the company calls First Tech "A technology company that also does banking" The only problem with that is nobody is willing to do anything except what they have always done. You cant be a technology company when the company is stuck in 2005.

Thank you for your time with us for the last eight years. Although we’re glad to hear that you appreciated our product discounts, paid time off and flexibility, we’re sad to read about your negative experience with our IT department. As with all growing companies, we’re constantly working to see the technological areas where we can improve, and your feedback will help us in those improvements.

Pros

Generous employee loan discount, hybrid work schedule, professional development opportunities, Fresh fruit is a nice touch.

Cons

Small desks and crowded to co-workers which creates distraction and difficulty at times to concentrate due to noise. Hotelling desk locations often "raided" of equipment. One day you'll get there and you're all set and the next time docking station of other equipment is gone.

Pros

Nice location, easy access, good D&I

Cons

I worked here for two years, the Pay scale was so low you had to work two jobs if you’re a single person. They have the customer service representatives doing sales, and then find ways to not give sales bonuses because your customer service levels aren’t high enough. I had worked in customer service for eight years and I’m still in customer service at another institution and never have I seen such ridiculous rules. If you have to send a request to another department and they call them back your first call resolution is crap. And remember this is a sales team so they pay you so little and work really hard to not give you a bonus. I talked to a Work coworker who stated that now they don’t get their quarterly bonuses because they have to be at 110% of First call resolution to get the quarterly sales. Bonus makes zero sense.
