Pros
Some truly talented people at the ground level who deserve better than the environment around them. Community banking brand gives you solid client facing credibility and experience.
Cons
Compensation is below market: salary and bonus both, meaningfully so compared to regional competitors. This isn't a tradeoff for culture. You don't get that either. CCB is a large regional bank (Glacier subsidiary) acting like it's a community bank. You get the bureaucracy and politics of a large institution with the firewalls, resources, and pay of a small one. It's unfortunately the worst of both worlds. Federal holidays are not consistently honored: Competitors close. CCB requires employees to work or burn personal PTO on several federal holidays. This is a deliberate policy choice and it tells you exactly how leadership views employees and the "family first" culture they say they have. HR conduct raised serious ethical concerns in multiple occasions. Accountability is applied selectively and inconsistently in ways that protect the wrong people and demoralizes others. The "family oriented" culture is a marketing position, not a lived reality. I've never seen more people working on a Saturday and Sunday on their days off to try and keep up to the work requirements. Systems only work against you; they refuse to spend money on a good system that would actually help people be more efficient.
