Family owned bank over 100 years old with a focus on business banking/lending.

Pros

Great benefits. Positions are salary not commission based which can be good or bad depending on your personality.

Cons

Very limited in what the company will lend on; they are an owner occupied commercial real estate lender. They don't vary far from office and industrial properties. work/life balance is not good for those in a sales role.

Pros

None! There is not one redeeming thing about First Citizens. They are called the "firing bank" for a reason.

Cons

Everything about First Citizens is bad don't ever apply they say they pay well...just so they can make your life horrible.

Pros

People are friendly. 11 paid holidays per year. 2 weeks PTO immediately.

Cons

HR can't be trusted. They're pro mgmt. rather than pro employee. There's no confidentiality or trust between employees, their managers, and HR. Departments are siloed and do not work together. There's a lot of politics that can't be avoided. Salaries are extremely low and annual raises are arbitrary (dept head gives out raise pool based on how well budget is going and raise amount is given to employees that are liked best rather than based on performance). Little has been spent on technology and getting any tools to do your job is a challenge. You basically have to beg for necessities rather than request them. They're often refused so you have to find ways to work around that.
