      Pros

      Branch and department staff are great. Gained good experience. Good 401k plan.

      Cons

      Pay, bonus and raises ($50 a month) are a joke. As a manager and almost 10 years I make less than some tellers at competing banks. Recently upgraded technology is archaic and hard to work. Upper management exhibits extreme favoritism, giving their favorites promotions without ever posting the position for others to apply. It is clear that you are just a number to them and they have no respect or regard for you as a working class human being. They have zero integrity, which happens to be a core values of theirs that they pretend to focus on.

      You are right we would be nothing without our really hard working employees. We are working on improving technology and training on our system. We are a total compensation company, so yes base may be lower but all in compensation is very competitive. Thank you for your feedback, I would be happy to hear of examples of favoritism and the lack of integrity. You can call me or email me any time, your feedback will be applauded whether we agree with it or not. Our strength is our great people.

      Pros

      Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

      Cons

      Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
