Pros

There are no pros except to say there are some very nice managers in Walla Walla who are knowlegable and helpful.

Cons

The pay is sub standard for industry standards. Then there's the management if you want to call it that. Everyone is a VP and a "manager". There are seasoned people there who have 20 + years of tenure, never worked outside of Banner, so some haven't a clue about mortgage banking. They make all the decisions. It matters not, what your previous experience is, it's the Banner Way or the highway. There are VP/Managers there who were hired despite their lack of management experience. And yet, even with a complete employee turnover, Sr management and HR fails to get the message. The real reason people won't stay there is because of a certain supervisor. If you enjoy being bullied and micro managed, looking over your shoulder every day and blamed for things which aren't your responsibility or fault, look no farther, this is the place for you.
