Pros

The pay wasn't too bad but that was about it.

Cons

Management was lacking and needed more training on how to motivate employees. The business as a whole makes promises they can't keep just so you will feel excited about working there. All lies.

Pros

It really keeps the local feel. Employees are treated well. Pay is not great, but they always promote from within, if you are willing to stick around. Still handle deals with a handshake. Everyone within South State is so nice. Everyone is supportive and helpful. Everyone answers the phone and will help you grow. There benefits are awesome.

Cons

Takes some serious time to move up. Still working kinks out in online programs. Lingering problems from merger become more apparent as you move up. Trying to keep up with technology of big banks but lack.
