Pros

Good people in entry level and low level positions. OK work life balance but that is manager dependent.

Cons

Lots of promises that turn out to be outright lies. Poor direction from senior leadership, not much room for advancement, lots of office politics if you want to move up into management positions. The company changes its mind about it's initiatives every few months, feels like a boat without a rudder at times. There are also a decent amount of layoffs and the turnover in a lot of jobs is high. Raises are max 3%. The bank is overall performing poorly against its peers

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.
