Pros

SSB bank got to keep its name and systems.

Cons

Ever since CenterState Bank acquired SouthState Bank, pretty much everything has gone down hill. The company is experiencing a high volume of employee turnover/resignations. New management and leaders have attitude problems. There is backlog everywhere and not even a thank you for selling your soul. Company went from feeling “like family” to “you are just a slave, keep going.” They are also not up to date in salary, in comparison with the current market.
