Respected regional bank doing good work
Pros
Hancock Whitney is a well-respected regional bank that, starting from small-town roots in coastal Mississippi and in New Orleans, has grown to its current footprint spanning the Gulf South. Working for Hancock Whitney carries a certain pride within the communities we serve. Many employees have been with the bank for 20+ years and many more, including myself, have worked for the bank, left for other jobs, and returned. Hancock Whitney is a stable, long-term, well-respected corporate member of the community that provides valuable services and cares for its employees.
Cons
Hancock Whitney is a for-profit company, so they will always be concerned about the bottom line. Naturally, that drives company decisions that are not always popular. Banking, in general, is a highly regulated industry with a heavy compliance and security component and a traditional, conservative corporate culture. Those qualities are certainly present at Hancock Whitney as well.
