Pros

Since it's a smaller bank, it's much easier to make connections to higher ups than at say PNC. The CEO is a great guy (know him personally), and it would certainly pay to get to know people higher up than you. I think this would be a solid place to start off at

Cons

Not certain how easy it actually is to move up in the bank unless you know higher ups. The pay is definitely pretty crappy (in my opinion). The Indiana office is a pretty gloomy place to work in. From what I've heard, the Pittsburgh office has a better atmosphere, but Indiana has closer connections to higher ups.

Pros

401k, vacation, stock options. Everyone at the branch level is very helpful and the training program is improving.

Cons

You can't move up the ladder and a lot of favoritism. Even if you make it to the next level they start you with the lowest pay compared to the new hires. Mortgage and Investment partners are horrible and hardly care about your referrals. The branches are short staffed and work life balance is a problem most of the time. Part time employees are not respected. The IT systems are not efficient that increases the work load.
