Pros

Employee benefits like 401k, generous paid time off, parental leave, good pay minimums and wide pay ranges. The company claims to be very employee-centric and encourage career development

Cons

Extremely antiquated and cumbersome systems still in place. Have to log everything, have to sign into everything over and over and getting support sometimes is like the blind leading the blind. Changes are poorly communicated and it feels like many operational policies are silly and redundant to mitigate risk.

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.
