Pros

I think the culture is great, and employees are valued. One of the best places I've ever worked, and I've been in banking for quite a while.

Cons

The typical things you'll find anywhere else - and in this economy, i think the goals are tough but fair.

Pros

Grow has invested training time and dollars to help me do my job better. They also maintain very good employee benefits, including matching 401k contributions. They frequently provide and promote recognition to employees (below management levels). These are benefits and opportunities that are disappearing in many companies - especially those that are downsizing. For people who want to work and take advantage of opportunities within the company, the environment is great. I've seen many people promoted because of their dedication to the members and the organization.

Cons

Every company has issues and challenges, Grow is no exception. Are there challenges in communicating across a 500-person organization? Of course. But, I have seen changes to know that the company is working to improve. There are also challenges when the role of certain jobs changes. Some of this is due to changes in banking, and some is due to our current economy. Change is everywhere, and Grow has to adapt like every other business.

Pros

Salary and benefits were okay

Cons

Since the name change, Grow has tried to become a very "Utopian Organization". They became very controlling to the point of "Stepfordizing" their employees. They were to look alike, act alike, talk alike, etc., almost to the point of becoming robotic. In addition, besides spending an astronomical amount of money to change their name, they also made many poor financial decisions that wasted members profits.
