Pros

There is no mission creep. Management consistently applies standards - you know what you are getting. The office I worked in had a very collegial and friendly atmosphere. Pay is generally above local scale. There is flexibility in the work schedule (position-dependent).

Cons

There is little flexibility in serving markets outside the focal point of medical and medical related businesses. Some policies are a bit archaic but they are consistently applied. Positions in sales are base salary only - there are no bonus or incentive programs of any kind. Some of the technical systems are far behind the times - DOS based loan systems, requirement to fax credit requests rather than scan them, etc.

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.
