Pros

Used to be great schedule and nice management-until...

Cons

Bare bones staff at branches Extreme pressure to sell to customers No matter how much or little you work/sell you get the same raise as the laziest employee- no point in even trying. It only gives the manager a bigger bonus. Management less friendly under new pressure and goals Hires managers that do nothing and get bonuses that should go to the hard working staff. Manager had no knowledge of banking policy or even how to open accounts- was just a social butterfly. Time off is very difficult to get and often given to favorites first

Solid Company with Conservative Culture

Pros

A great financial institution in very solid footing. Overall I've enjoyed pretty good management, ,but it is hit or miss as with any company.

Cons

The bank is incredibly worried about the bottom line (as they should be), however often times the "little people" get lost in the shuffle. The company is growing and employees are increasingly undervalued. The benefits are standard for the banking industry, but there are little additional perks or incentives for employees.

Pros

Bank associates are great to work with.

Cons

Low compensation and when I say low, I mean the lowest in the Financial Advisor industry. If you see good reviews on here, most of them are over a year old... And that is for a reason. Management are bullies, there is rarely any recognition for work well done. A very hostile work environment. I have been here a little over a year and I say with confidence that this is the worst management team I have ever seen. If you have another opportunity take it...
