Pros
-Sincere dedication to investing in employees who want to advance in banking Ex: I have been promoted more than once in the 4 years that I have worked here -Open to hiring staff from all difference backgrounds, prior banking experience is not required -Competitively compensate -RSOO & Regional Presidents doors are always open -Employee/Family atmosphere -Company is not afraid of change
Cons
-Too much CYA -Adversarial relationship between branches and central support -Training needs improvement; hits the basics but it's too theoretical and not enough repetition -Not enough processes are centralized; too much is the branches responsibility...cause true 'time sucks' every day that takes away from the customers experience -Very small threshold for risk; try to control every aspect of retail with no expectation of trust -Bridges need to be built between Retail, Lenders, & Treasury Management
