Pros

Slow environment allows more personal interactions with clients.

Cons

Management is looking out for their best interests. In a scenario where the regional operations director in Florida promised both employees involved in this particular scenario they would not "get in trouble, or even get written up", they decided to come back one month later and fire the employees, once they realized that there was more involved with their managers. The managers threatened the employees job by abiding by policy previously because it "inconvenienced them", creating a hostile work environment by altering employees perceptions of other employees telling me that "[this employee] will turn you into HR for anything", stating and thereby admitting there is an environment of retaliation in this company for raising concerns to HR. The managers would consistently violate the procedures on cash audits, not perform them as "surprise cash audits" like they are supposed to, but planning them verbally and openly in the office in front of all the other employees, major cash handling violations by leaving opportunities for assets of the company to go missing by planning their audits. This was done for the manager that was in control of their money and also the vault teller as well. It is not a secure environment with the current managers. Employees are afraid to raise any concerns or state what they see because of previous and current retaliation against the employees, making it appear like it's a different reason for letting the employee go.

Pros

I started at Hancock Whitney 15 years ago as a teller and have progressed to a Commercial Banker. Throughout my career, the bank has supported me through graduate school, GSBLSU, leadership programs, Louisiana Bankers Association courses, and other professional development opportunities. Hancock Whitney encourages associates to be involved in their communities through volunteer efforts, professional organizations, and local events. Internally, Associate Resource Groups provide opportunities to connect with associates across the company. My experience has been supportive teams, opportunities for growth, and a culture that encourages both professional development and community involvement. Nearly 15 years later, I'm still here, which probably says more than anything else I could write in this review.

Cons

Like many large organizations, decisions and changes can sometimes take time to work through multiple levels of the company.

Pros

Honestly all the pros went away with merger with Whitney.

Cons

Mindset that all Whitney employees are better than Hancock employees and that all Hancock employees should be terminated. Before merger Hancock was a great company to work for and treated like you really mattered. But after merger anyone that was Hired on by Hancock Holding Company was treated like garbage and constantly under microscope to find the slightest thing to terminate for. No room for advancement.
