Pros

High hope for my job here. Sadly it was short lived, due to the shut down of 13+ branch shut downs. They talk about growth but it’s seems all smoke in mirrors. They are headed towards a more “big bank corporate feel” and are for getting what really matters, their employees. They aren’t even offering to place the employees effected by the shut downs. You have to apply and interview for any open positions even if you’ve been with the bank 20+ years.

Cons

Vacation time is so so More worried about big corporate than their people Systems are way out of date and lag and go down a lot

Pros

Vacation time and off on sundays

Cons

Management will not listen to your concerns, HR is no help either. the staff is rude to fellow colleagues as well as customers. No reprimand to the employees that are rude to customers or don't follow the rules. There is no room to move up in the company. They will pretend to cross train you and say they will give you a raise but never do. The computers always go out. There are glitches in the balancing system that cause you to be over or short when really you aren't. Sometimes it is investigated sometimes it isn't. you will get written up for the occurrence and it will count against you even though it isn't your fault. Very unwelcoming and stressful environment. When you put your two week notice in they will belittle you and target you until you want to quit.
