Pros

Relaxed atmosphere with a high retention rate with their employees. Family oriented bank that gives back to the community in more ways than one. Job security balances well with the effort you put towards doing a good job.

Cons

Like most banks at this time its difficult to get most deals through. Old school tactics used by upper management which complements the out dated intermal systems for daily operations. The compensation package does not correlate with what is expected in regards to sales goals.

Pros

Flexibility is what sells this place as a great place to work. Hybrid schedule, great PTO, no guilt trips for needing time off for family matters.

Cons

Your experience will vary greatly based on your manager. One asset manager can freely call in or wfh without worry where another AM may be reprimanded for the same. The insurance department is completely inept. Borrowers are constantly threatening to sue because our insurance dept management sucks. Very little training across most departments. Some people work very very hard, others dont work at all, there doesnt seem to be much oversight there. When a manager tells their employee "dont expect to get promoted next year" with no guidance or encouragement, you pretty much kill all motivation for that employee to do better. They will hire people as senior staff and pay them way more than their seasoned employees make, and then tell their seasoned employees not to expect a senior promotion.
