Company culture is no longer what it was.

Financial intelligence unit

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.
