Pros
Business professional, yet relaxed: there is a dress code but much less traditional than other financial institutions may be, ie ties/suits are not required, but slacks and collared shirts are. Small business mentality: aware of local needs and perspectives, loans are not sold to other companies and are locally serviced. Members/customers are valued highly. Good benefits: health, dental, 401K, pension, time off. Each associate is valued as a part of the branch of department team: within the interests of the company, each dept. has its own ‘personalities,’ and problem solving and customer service are shared responsibilities. At the end of the day, Landmark is great company and makes a difference to the community.
Cons
Good benefits but most non management individuals feel that their take-home pay is less than competitive. Some departments are plagued with turn over, that most would consider a relatively small ($1-2/hr) pay raise across the board would alleviate. Having consistent and well trained associates, that Stay, would make a large impact of the experience of the members.
