Pros

The friends that I made that keeps me sane.

Cons

I have completely wasted my time, skills and talents here. Management has no idea nor even tried to do what it should have been doing. It gave a lot of stress to me as they are so inept and disorganized. There's no clear path to what they are trying to achieve. Everything is out of place. They are also dishonest. They will break your trust that they care about you when it fact, they don't. I should have known earlier and saved a lot of my precious time.

This review certainly reflects an opinion that is difficult to read given I couldn't disagree more. To say there is no clear path to what they are trying to achieve is as far from reality as it gets. First, our company as a documented 2020 Summary Business Plan that specifically outlines the five goals we set out to achieve this year. Each goal has KPIs that give us further direction with detail to help us be successful in getting there. In our recent culture survey our highest scores were for: - We have a shared vision of what the company will be like in the future. -We make certain that everyone is informed about what is going on across the company. Both of these were scored 90 or above out of 100. To us that indicates a clear path has been communicated and our Associates are highly engaged in getting there. The fact that we are surpassing our aggressive goals is evidence that things are not "out of place" either. First Western is on track for a great year. Lastly, saying that our Associates/Managers are "dishonest" is unfair to them. Again, our culture survey indicates a high score for, "there is a clear and consistent set of values that governs the way we do business." One of our operating principals is to, "Act with Trust and Respect/We expect and invite honesty from others." We would not have received such impressive survey results from our Associates if you were accurate. For those of you searching for a new opportunity with a company that has solid Core Values and a defined plan for the future we hope you will apply on our career page. To the Reviewer above I do wish you the best. Mike Andersen Manager, Human Capital
