Pros

186 quarters of profitability; this Bank isn't going anywhere. They grow through acquisition of smaller, troubled Banks. Many employees have been with the Bank for a very long time; average tenure is 7+ years, nearly double the industry average.

Cons

They run a very tight ship. That means they "do more with less" and specifically means that even during busy times, they are cautious to hire. Also means that there is a high amount of focus on expenses....to include salary expenses.

Pros

The team members were generally supportive, and the role offered exposure to probate and estate administration. It can be a starting point for gaining experience in a specialized area of banking.

Cons

Many of the advertised benefits of the role did not align with the day-to-day reality. Opportunities for growth, training, and process improvement were limited, and the workload often felt driven by volume rather than quality. Communication and expectations could be inconsistent, making it difficult to feel supported or set up for long-term success.
