        Pros

        ICBA is a mission-focused trade association dedicated to helping community banks across the country serve their local communities. Since the pandemic, employees have been given significant flexibility in a hybrid work environment. The organization is financially strong and new ideas and innovation are both encouraged and expected. Employee benefits are excellent, far exceeding those of most organizations. All staff have access to state of the art technology, laptops, and a monthly work-from-home stipend. This is a great place if you're willing to work hard and be a team contributor.

        Cons

        None that I can think of.

          Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear about your experience at our organization, as ICBA is committed to an inclusive environment where every employee can flourish. Over the last year, ICBA has incorporated initiatives to add transparency to our promotion process and compensation program that directly ties employee compensation to performance, experience, and job requirements. This includes creating a performance excellence system that provides opportunities for feedback from multiple sources and clear goals on which to base performance. Even with these initiatives, we understand issues can arise, so we encourage staff to contact HR if an employee’s experience does not match our values. For over two years, CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey has held routine all-staff town halls where employees can anonymously submit feedback or questions to the CEO. Employees can post comments or questions in real time during the meetings. This format has been widely accepted by employees as it further encourages feedback and promotes our commitment to creating a positive work environment for all employees. We value all feedback and would be happy to learn more about what specifically it was that was not positive during your time here and how we can improve. Please feel free to reach out to HR at any time. We wish you the best.

            Pros

            Very welcoming place to work with fantastic benefits. Staff are very friendly and willing to help out especially when you are new. I have completed my first year here and still feel like there is lots to learn. There is no posturing from leadership and transparency when it comes to communications with staff. There's flexibility and an understanding that we are all people with lives outside of work. We have the ability to telework, or come into the office or be hybrid with no pressure to do one or the other.

            Cons

            The only con is that the organization itself is growing and quite diverse while the membership itself still has a ways to go. However, there is a concerted effort to ensure that it happens.

                The people are really top notch -- and the organization supports a culture of growth and respect.

                Cons

                It can move very fast for a trade association -- and folks wear many hats.

                    Really wonderful, supportive, friendly colleagues. CEO and Sr. Mgmt care about the employees. Good mission supporting America's small banks.

                    Cons

                    Held back a bit by outdated internal technology and processes (which was in the process of being updated when I left). Many people at the company have been there for aaaagggessss, which shows it's a good place to work, but could also contribute to process and tech stagnation.

                      Got booted from my former position about 4 years ago, which I LOVED. I have the impression I was "kept" in sympathy. Now that I have my feet beneath me, I feel like I'm running in place. Over the past 2 years, I've probably applied for about 100 positions in other departments. True, a few were unlikely moonshots, but for the most part I didn't misrepresent myself. Am I the world's worst interviewer? Otherwise.. shouldn't I have been accepted elsewhere, by choice?

                      Administrative Assistant

                      I haven't worked since Jan. 2020 when my job as administrative assistant for the Hospitalist group was eliminated. I can't begin to count the number of applications submitted, interviews I've had, jobs that I was told were mine then they weren't, etc. Several jobs have fallen through or not panned out. I am not a job hopper and want to stay where I go. I have a zoom interview tomorrow for a front desk receptionist position at an oral surgeon's office. Any interview tips are appreciated.
