Pros

Immediate PTO, Insurance coverage from day one, decent training, good products for employees and customers, no weekends, decent pay.

Cons

As a floater you travel A LOT. Management needs improvement (at some branches and regional management). Branches are kept short staffed.

Pros

Independent Financial suffers from poor executive management and a lack of clear direction communicated through the ranks. Things were better years prior before the name change and move to the Henneman HQ.

Cons

Many. As mentioned before, poor leadership from the highest levels. This bank chose to RIF 10% of staff the week before Thanksgiving 2022 and spin doctor it as a positive. Many long-time employees are leaving or terribly unhappy and looking for an out. This bank is quickly becoming Legacy Bank 2.0 with all of the Prosperity/Legacy castoffs being hired.
