Pros

- Pay is okay. Generally right around par with competitor banks. - Many loyal customers. Bank has been around for a long time and they like that. - Enjoyed those I worked with.

Cons

- Changed their debit card to Discover without giving customers the option to keep their Mastercard. It was like feeding their branch employees to the lions. - Did not do a good job showing employee appreciation. - Job security. Bank seems very willing to turn to branch closures and restructuring (layoffs) to cut costs. - Branch often understaffed

Pros

an office with a roof over your head

Cons

very competitive--people who fear for their jobs and have little if any education. As a joke we had an acquaintance who is a Harvard grad/Wharton MBA--10-year hedge fund executive, apply for a low-level job. Knowing the fear of the "interviewer" who are not educated, and feared for their jobs, they would pass on this very qualified, intelligent person and send a random "went with more qualified" [lol] email. We saved the email for entertainment. This place is full of scared, gossipy, uneducated people. They want people they can control. Turnover is high.
