Pros

Customer service from the staff is exceptional. Two weeks of vacation until 5 years and then an additional day up to 3 weeks. The core values were wonderful.

Cons

No promotions from within above FSR level. Unfair treatment of staff with obvious favoritism. Market Leaders have too much control over the individual branch employees. The bank is now leaning towards a sales oriented platform instead of a service one.

Pros

Very competent senior management team

Cons

As soon as the bank began to acquire other banks, the culture immediately changed. Taking care of long time employees of SCBT was no longer the 'top' priority of senior management. Growth was all that mattered. And once size is all that matters, morale takes a hit, everyone has to start fitting in a 'box' unlike before, and you begin to feel more like a number than an employee. And the number of hours you had to put in just to keep up with the growth (I'm talking 65-80 hours EVERY single week) just wasn't worth it anymore.
