Pros

Supportive Culture: The company fosters a laid-back, team-oriented culture that’s generally pleasant to work in. • Internal Mobility: One of the biggest strengths is the opportunity for growth from within. Promotions and career advancement are possible if you stay long enough.

Cons

Misleading Hybrid Policy: The Treasury Management team advertises the role as hybrid starting after six months, but in reality, it can take nine months to a year — or longer — before any hybrid schedule is approved. Even then, the hybrid arrangement is unstable and subject to sudden changes. • Bait-and-Switch Tactics: Hybrid flexibility is used as a recruiting tool, but once hired, you’ll quickly discover it’s more of a management control mechanism than a benefit. Expect sudden demands to return to the office, even for an entire month, with little notice — often justified under vague “business needs.” • Extremely Expensive Health Insurance: The health plan is costly and offers minimal coverage. • Low Pay: Compensation is below industry standards, especially considering the workload and expectations. • Unreliable Scheduling: Planning personal life is difficult due to unpredictable office attendance demands. There’s no transparency or consistency in how the hybrid schedule is managed.

Pros

FSR I pay is decent. $20.50 hourly here in SC. Great work life balance. I’m part time so it works great with my schedule. Manager is lenient.

Cons

Training isn’t the best, you learn as you do. You will open and close accounts. Roll over CDs.
