Pros

pretty break room if you can get an opportunity to use it. You probably won't. Some really awesome low/mid-level employees who have drank the kool-aid hype that is BancVue. They are wicked smart.

Cons

This company uses Myers-Briggs testing, not to assist you with self-enlightenment to perhaps assist you to be more effective in your work and work relationships. They use it to stick you in a box for themselves, so that the can control you. One person who chose not to participate in the M-B was fired several months later. There is a cult-like following in HR and C-level positions for M-B. Approach with caution. In most cases (there are a few exceptions), the louder and more brash you are, the more management will like you. Even if you don't know what you are talking about. There are people who have been promoted to positions of authority that perhaps should not be: they failed on their previous tasks, blamed their teams and then got promoted. The subsequent teams were decimated, but the failed manager was promoted. There are others who really don't do anything relevant to the day-to-day operations of the company, but are still employed. I shall not speculate about why. It doesn't appear that the "new" offerings are even yet off the ground. 2, 2 and a half years? What's up people? Be very careful approaching this company. It all may seems well. Do a sniff test. I am out of here as soon as possible.

Pros

The mission is real and people for the most part are proud to support the little banks and credit unions that do a lot more for their communities than the mega banks do. The culture is very strong, but I don't call it "good". "Good" is subjective and will be different for each person. It's perfectly reasonable for a great person to find our culture to be a poor fit for them, but that's always the risk of having a STRONG culture. It means you aren't trying to be all things to all people. It takes a special kind of person, more of a self starter, to thrive here. And that's not for everyone, but it works for me and the vast majority of my coworkers. Benefits are solid. Work Life balance is good for most positions (but there are some that have unequal share of the load - and that's an area to improve). People are genuinely respected. While there are always cases where any company will miss the mark, the management team is overall very concerned about respecting the dignity of every employee.

Cons

The company's aspirations are BIG and finding resources to address the opportunities is sometimes hard. Though, I think we've gotten better about prioritizing things so this is at least a smaller (though not nonexistent) issue. As I mentioned above, there are pockets of teams w/ Work/Life Balance problems.

Thank you for your perspective. I like your comments regarding culture and how whether or not someone will like it depends on fit. Thanks for also providing some good constructive feedback. We will work hard to address those.
