Pros

Decent pay. You get six therapy sessions for free per calendar year that you will absolutely need to utilize just to deal with the fear-based management style.

Cons

Management is condescending. Frequent public humiliations. Unrealistic expectations even when told they are unrealistic. This is not a collaborative environment. It’s a “who can I throw under the bus to save myself” environment. Management focuses too much on shaming, humiliating, belittling, ridiculing, and in general, bullying their associates instead of working towards solutions and performance improvement.

Pros

Small enough company that you can talk to leadership and voices matter. Culture used to be great. Lots of middle management understands the obstacles employees face and fights for the better.

Cons

The entire company is centered around Arkansas/Little Rock/Pine Bluff. There are other markets with massive opportunity that are always getting ignored. Everything is looked at through the lens of how things are done, ran, budgeted, ect in LR. Lots of recent change has caused a lot of bankers to leave and start looking for jobs elsewhere because they’re tired of lack of leadership.
