Great company values, very community oriented, great training programs, if your location has a great manager it's a wonderful place to work
Cons
Gave my resignation notice and was fired the next day despite company policy requiring employees to give notice. Low pay, bonuses are low unless your branch is high volume with high loan production, sick time isn't accrued during a pay period when you use sick time, Some areas have quite a toxic work culture

Thank you for your post, I wish you the best in your furture.
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.
