Pros

-Good Health Insurance benefits. -Dependent Care Program -Traditional work schedule 8am - 4:30pm, so family and work life is balanced.

Cons

-No opportunity to advance, unless someone retires or unless you know or are related to someone from upper management. Example: A young man started at the bank with no banking experience and was put into a "special program" where he was trained at a branch, in a matter of months he became a Branch Manager come to find out his uncle was somebody in upper management. -Pay is lowest compared to other major banks on the island. -Raises are non-existent, so much expectation and little reward. -Company does not offer training/classes, everything is learned at the branch only if someone is willing to teach you. -Branches are micromanaged

Pros

They care the most about their customers. They are not as strict as other banks. Somewhat organized. After working as Hawaii top 3 banks, this is my favorite of the . They were the mot warm out of the 3.

Cons

Pay is ridiculously low. No incentives for non-branch workers who work just as hard if not harder. Over capacity of work loads on the BankCard Team. Unrealistic expectations. Lots of nepotism. Older employees are locked in to much more lower pay while new employees start at a much higher rate.
