Pros
Great benefits and affordable healthcare
Hires excellent talent
Progressive and current on the bank side
Visible female leadership representation
Many ways to be involved through employee culture programs and speakers to quickly build an internal network
Will help move internally if stagnated
Low turnover
Bonuses were reliable
Took care of employees through pandemic
Very nice new Charlotte building and new Detroit floors including fully outfitted gyms and rest areas like golf swings and cool chairs
Offices are near places to walk for lunch or take a break
Bank holidays and decent PTO that was respected if you prepare
Cons
Low-to-middle market compensation
Culture changed post-pandemic and then with government pressures on DEI
Lots of red tape with an expectation to move faster than employees can
Layoffs started happening with CEO change, and it was odd that top performers were let go
Only 3 POC represented in Board and Executive Leadership and twice as many men as women
Perfectionism and performative culture
Auto business is archaic
Everyone has to work a lot and you hear horror stories about IT goes through
There's an expectation that you should work some more after you get home.
Penalized for not buyng into the koolaid, but also penalized if you do but not doing it frequently enough
Low turnover prevents meaningful career & salary growth for many employees who have been there 10+ years
Encourages openness and authenticity only to get met with barriers as soon as you do
