Midland States Bank Response

Thanks for taking the time to leave your review and some advice. I wanted to let you know that we will be sending out our culture survey to all employees in February of 2019. I want to encourage you to fill the survey out and provide us with your feedback because this is an important mechanism to ensure every employees voice is heard. Not only do our executives measure our culture based on employee responses each business unit shares their results and action plans with every employee in their respective area. We realize we can't fix problems if we are not aware of the issues. Thank you for all that you do to make Midland a great organization.
