Pros

They offer a lot of PTO, especially when you’ve worked there a few years as I have. They also match our 401k up to 6%, but that’s where the pros unfortunately stop.

Cons

They “promote” employees to new positions with more work, but without compensation and with no explanations as to why a whole department was now doing something entirely different. They are constantly changing policies and procedures to make absolutely no sense. Many of us do not have access to portals, applications, email and other resources needed to perform our jobs. We have Absolutely no leadership or management accountability and nobody ever knows what’s going on. Everyone does their own thing, their own way and everyone sort of plays along with it. The culture there is toxic and they exploit employees, especially the Spanish speaking ones. We do more work for the same pay. The pay is also an issue. They don’t have competitive wages, or livable wages at this point and their “raises” are a joke even when you are a top performer, as I am.

Pros

Great company to build experience and grow professionally. The benefits and PTO were excellent, and there were many opportunities for career development and internal growth. I learned a lot during my time there, especially in operations, customer service, and working in a fast-paced environment. Management was supportive and often acted more like career coaches, encouraging employees to develop new skills and move forward in their careers. I also built strong friendships and professional connections that I still value today.

Cons

The role could be demanding because Operations Managers often had responsibilities across multiple areas of the branch. At times, it felt like being the bridge between upper management, bankers, tellers, and customers all at once. In addition to management responsibilities, I was also expected to assist on the teller line, maintain a cash drawer, and help resolve escalated customer concerns. The workload could occasionally feel heavy for one person, especially in busy branches.

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
