Pros

We are loyal to community, clients and colleagues. We place high value on simply being nice and presuming good will when serving colleagues and clients. We have the culture of a small community bank, but the strength of a big bank. We are one of the strongest financial institutions in America. We have a great 401K retirement. Good benefits. We have nice employees. We have a CEO and Executive Management Committee who are disciplined, genuine and believe in and live by our corporate values.

Cons

Most of the cons center around antiquated technology. Over the next several months we will implement a new core system that will allow us to be more effective in our processes.

Pros

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.
