Pros
Great employees. Training program is perfect for someone who wants to learn banking.
Cons
Leadership not so great. The main problem is that the leadership team runs like an "old boys club" Need to get with the times and realize banking isn't like it used to be in 1855. Just isn't going to get any better if top of the house leadership doesn't change. When you are a community bank you should have local decision making capabilities with local leadership who UNDERSTANDS the markets we serve. Every business decision is made in Pittsburgh from Business Lending Decisions to Marketing Strategies. It would help if leadership would take the time to listen to feedback from their employees and recognize them every now and then for their hard work and efforts. Compensation needs review as they are losing great employees to competitors who can afford them. Great place to start a banking career but tenured, qualified, successful bankers should look for employment elsewhere.
