Pros

The people seem nice enough.

Cons

This company suffers from a severe case of inbreeding. If you're not from Alabama or have no ties to the University of Alabama, you're regarded as an oddity. Job advancement and security usually comes down to whether you own enough crimson and houndstooth in your wardrobe. Birmingham is a hell hole for the most part. Schools are mostly awful, except in the affluent areas where they are merely mediocre. Corrupt city government, a broke county, lots of empty buildings downtown, and one of the highest murder rates in the country. This is not a good place to work and Birmingham is not a good place to live.

Pros

Dedicated coworkers and supportive team members in my department. Great team and manager to work with and to be on. It’s been a good experience in banking operations and compliance.

Cons

Return to work expectations aren’t the same for everyone. Hard to understand where work-life balance fits in after years of successfully remote work. Now it feels like employee concerns are heard but not always considered and this change to come will impact routines, responsibilities, plus much more that many employees have built over the years.
