Business Outlook

Pros

It does a great work life balance, with a generous PTO. Slow pace. Stable slow job, good for some.

Cons

No direction from CEO, time to get a new one. The bank has outgrown him. Retail positions are at a dead end right now. Advise against moving to this bank if looking for growth. Lack of clear role descriptions.

Business Outlook

Pros

Solid Denver-based client base and exposure therein.

Cons

No ability for growth, promotion, innovation, salary bumps. In-place politics dictate who exceeds. Left a group that, since 2021, has turned over a full team to voluntary departures two times due to poor management.
