Horrible place that has no morals or respect for people.

Pros

The pay, the pto, some co-workers. They are trying to improve on technology but are still 5 years behind the times.

Cons

Management feels the need to insult, harass and provoke employees in front of colleagues. When an employee reports this type of harassment, they are told that they have to adjust to a different type of managing style. Dm, branch mangers, operations managers and HR all cover each other. Company is so focused on Wisconsin that they turn a blind eye to this. This is a low class company.

Pros

-Some truly fantastic colleagues. The people I worked with were the highlight of my time there and a big reason I stayed as long as I did. -Built strong cross-functional relationships that added meaning and depth to the day-to-day. -Gained valuable experience in the financial services space. -Work-life balance was manageable early on—though it became much harder to maintain over time.

Cons

-Culture took a clear downturn in recent years, leaving many employees feeling unsupported and directionless. -Compensation was not aligned with the complexity and demands of the work. -Resources were often limited, with priorities shifting frequently and little clarity on expectations. -A significant number of individuals in leadership roles lacked the experience or skills to lead effectively. This wasn’t isolated to one area—it was noticeable across several parts of the organization and had a real impact on morale and outcomes.

Cons

Company ended up being a nothing like they portray themselves to be. The management was cut throat, the HR department was heartless and the promises were never kept.
