Pros
A community bank that does want to help customers. Some people at the bank are nice and helpful. Full time is 37.5 hrs a week.
Cons
It is a step back in time, training is unorganized, HR has not progressed and EVPs give poor direction and communication. HR still separates out vacation and paid time off and you have to let them know what you need paid time off for, there is no privacy if you need personal time. They offer a FSA (can not roll over unused funds and have to provide a receipt for everything and fill out a paper form) instead of a HSA that you can roll over year after year. The bank still uses paper instead of technology as if they are still in 1990, even the IT department requires a signed form for any change requests. With the recent hire of the new EVP of retail, we have seen goals increase and have more sales pressure with little in return. She acts nice but has a reputation for blowing up and losing her temper. I have never experienced this myself but this is the low key talk among the branches and managers based on discussions overheard by people who work directly for her. Another EVP has been heard telling department managers that Wesbanco is getting ready to lay-off 150 employees, and showed little regard for the effect this could have on those employees by gossiping about it to others. Wesbanco pays dramatically less then other financial institutions and has a poor if any bonus structure. The bank appears to have a lack of consistency and has vertically no diversity.
