Pros

The company culture is friendly and welcoming. There are many people to network with to help build your career. There is plenty of job security.

Cons

HR can be less than helpful and disorganized; they typically need to be asked to do their job (not all HR employees). The pay could be better and the annual raises for hourly employees are a joke. Computer systems are mostly outdated and the 15-charter, one-bank model makes it difficult to handle all customers efficiently.

Pros

I had been with the company for a while, the benefits are ok, the insurance has always been pretty good. They aren't cut throat on hitting goals like other big banks may be.

Cons

The company lacks organization, one day management tells you one thing the next day it has changed, this creates problems for the customers and the employees. Most of retail is underpaid and overworked, when someone leaves the position isn't reposted at times and the work just gets divided up between other employees, then they cap annual raises at 2.5%, 2.75% or 3% for the past few years. This is very demotivating. Work life balance is non existent. Most of the branches are understaffed with 3 tellers total working for the bank, this creates bad customer service, everyone is in a hurry to get rid of their customer so they can move onto the next task.
