Pros

Almost everyone cares. They wants the company to do well. There are lots of opportunities in the company if you no longer enjoy what you're doing. They try hard to make it a good place.

Cons

Leadership is like a club. There have been times I haven't seen my leader for weeks. If you try to give feedback to your leader, get ready for a terrible experience. They can block you leaving their team and make your life miserable. Pay is only OK. Add the commute and city taxes and it's not very good. Your pay can get cut if you take a lower role. Your pay won't go up if you make it to a higher role.

Pros

Health Benefits; Remote Availability; Base Salary

Cons

Leadership is lost, Heather Lovier at the helm is driving banking force to the ground. Many bankers going on leave and quitting. Constant change in comp plan for the worse in a difficult rate environment with high inflation in the economy is a recipe for disaster. Team leaders are scared of their own shadows, no say in direction while upper leadership stare at spreadsheets to make decisions instead of having a real pulse on what’s really happening on the front line. Banker morale at an all time low.
