Pros

This is a solid place to start if you are looking into banking as a career. There is a good training program and they do not push the sales culture.

Cons

The pay is pitiful. While this place is good to get the fundamentals down, it is hard to move up, especially if you are young and new to banking.

Pros

The Houston-area branches afford a pleasant working environment and friendly colleagues. The pay is competitive.

Cons

The corporate office has absolutely no interest in the individual needs of satellite branches, which makes daily operation excessively complicated. All locations are expected to conform to the rigid established standard, even at the expense of client relationships. Branch office staff are expected to manage operations at every level. Because back office staff have minimal, if any, customer contact and no knowledge outside their own specific department, they are largely unhelpful and obtuse. Training is minimal and performance expectations are high.
