Pros

The hours are decent and paid time off is fair

Cons

This organization is no different than every other toxic culture organization in existence. Slow to no change, growth, and all other necessary pivots that thankfully lead to environments like this, and ones that came before, extinct. The list of cons are so plentiful, however worth the time to read. C-level “leaders” are at best, typical. Making ignorant decisions and implementing them with little if any insight, feedback, or thought process. As if that’s not bad enough, celebrating being “distinct” while roasting marshmallows on the dumpster fires inevitably created. About the only intelligent thing they do, is pay the puppets below them handsomely enough to drink the toxic sludge they produce, leaving most believing their parrots are in charge when in reality, decision making is left to a bunch ripe, Caucasian, men who probably should’ve retired years ago. Speaking of puppets, the alarming amount of blatant misogyny and harassment from the majority of them is like nothing I’ve ever witnessed. It’s only a matter of time before it is surfaced and the ball drops. Local “leadership” have little to no control over anything, nor would they bother to walk across the street, let alone, grapple for the individuals who keep them employed and in many occasions, appear as if they actually lead. They are cowards pretending to be hero’s, although my toddlers school plays produce more noteworthy acting. At least their cowardice ways and inability to produce humanity is surface level; no mistaking that. Many of the markets and regions within them are understaffed and the employees keeping all things afloat have not seen anything more than merit increases in years. That includes through the pandemic, the ppp nightmare, and the calamitous conversion. No consideration or bonus money, or additional paid time, nothing. While other companies were rewarding frontline workers handsomely, not one sacrifice was made by upper management to show gratitude. Perhaps I should have prefaced that by noting a few record setting years for lending, and the bonus money to the organization from the federal government. Before writing this review I read through a few others that mentioned Human Resources, which at the local level is obscure if not completely void. One can only assume it’s similar in hq. The mentions about old branches and equipment, all I would go as far as to say kind, descriptions.

Pros

Benefit and PTO and the hours

Cons

Working for WesBanco was once a positive and rewarding experience, but under the current management structure, morale has significantly declined. There is a clear disconnect between leadership and the day-to-day realities of how the system operates and how work actually gets done. Decisions are being made by individuals who do not appear to fully understand workflow, staffing limitations, or operational demands. There is also a concerning double standard in expectations. Management is permitted extended lunches outside the office, while frontline employees are required to remain on site sometimes without a proper lunch break because we are running on a skeleton crew. Employees are expected to continuously cover operations without adequate relief, which is both unsustainable and unfair. The burden consistently falls on the same employees who show up every day, keep the office functioning, and meet customer needs despite staffing shortages. These employees deserve leadership support, fair treatment, and adequate coverage—not burnout. If WesBanco wants to retain dedicated staff and maintain performance standards, leadership must address staffing gaps, enforce consistent expectations across all levels, and demonstrate accountability. Without meaningful change, morale and retention will continue to suffer.
