Pros

Whether you are accomplished in your field or are looking for upward mobility, I'd highly recommend looking into First Citizens.

Cons

You cannot expect a regional bank to have the same brand equity and resources of a larger institution (BofA, WF, Chase). Notwithstanding, FCB is uniquely competitive in some areas.

Pros

For a family-owned bank, they have terrific banking products to offer clients. Love the people I work with peers, colleagues, staff.

Cons

Middle management is really awful: micro-managing, more meetings than time to work to achieve goals being assigned and then meetings about meetings. Poor communication and no mentoring from anyone above me at all. It's classic Office Space.
