Pros

Dollar Bank is an excellent bank to get your foot in the door, learning the ins and out of banking and excellent job security. The bank has never laid anyone off, which is a huge bonus along with the fact the pressure is less since it is a mutual bank. Also, the training and benefits are excellent along getting to know many people in the bank since it is a smaller bank.

Cons

There are opportunity advancements, but Dollar Bank seems behind the times with outdated management styles. Individual thought seems discouraged here along with giving employees a sense of autonomy. Essentially, there are too many chiefs and not Indians to put it best. Employees seem to be closely watched by both branch and upper management. Training is excellent but not realistic when put into practice and often rushed far too often.

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.
