First Bank (Alaska) Reviews

Branches are too spread out. A promotion may cause you to travel a bit.

- Performance feedback is spotty at best - usually only those who are doing poorly are given feedback, the rest are taken for granted - Many of the managers with whom I come into contact are non-confrontational and not willing to fix the problems or the people responsible for them... head in the sand for many is the way to go - No raises for the last 2 years - expected during this economy and market, but is still a con - Average benefits, decent costs, but no tution reimbursement, no discounts to gyms, etc. - Some departments are often the last to know of a major change or project that impacts a lot of people - leaves them scrambling and makes them look bad when the information doesn't get out on time or when the information gets out on time but is incomplete/lacking - "Required" is rarely enforced (appraisals, coaching feedback, etc)
