Pros

Annual bonus, free computer every 3 years. Unfortunately, not worth the super high offset of the cons.

Cons

Management does not care about their employees, and works them to death, and they don't care that you don't have much time for family. Working a lot of Saturdays is common, typically 1-3 each month, and working 6 days a week is somewhat common, with 2 of those days being half days. Even when you get a second day off, the days are usually split. This could be eliminated by hiring enough staff for the long hours they insist on being open. They want you to put them first, definitely not employee and family friendly. Pay is average, health insurance choices are poor and expensive. Sales goals/quotas are over the top. Typical for a bank, they say they don't want you to product push, but then management comes down on you because they're getting in trouble when the branch isn't making ridiculously high sales goals, mostly in loans. Supposedly a top workplace. I don't know who's voting for them, maybe they're having friends and family vote? Not surprising, the turnover is extremely high (again, I don't see how they made top work place). There are way too many non branch employees for the size of the company and I don't understand the purpose of some of them.

Pros

Some genuinely smart individuals who work here. Modern tools like Rapid7 were being used and there was potential to build something strong if leadership aligned behind a clear plan.

Cons

Day to day security felt reactive instead of strategic. Basic things like access, approvals, and tool enablement often took far longer than they should have. I raised specific issues with clear recommendations, was told they weren’t a priority, and then months later we ended up implementing the same suggestions after problems surfaced. Leadership seemed heavily operations focused but lacked longterm vision for maturing the program. There was difficulty clearly identifying critical assets or agreeing on a maturing roadmap. Framework discussions were dismissed as unnecessary for our size, which was surprising in a regulated financial environment. Communication across teams was inconsistent, priorities shifted frequently, and accountability was limited. It often felt like rework instead of progress. If you’re a security professional who values structured leadership with a clear vision, clear ownership and proactive planning, this environment may be frustrating and I would not recommend it for growth career wise.
