Pros

First American Bank is a smaller community bank that is growing. That is a good and bad thing. They are a very stable bank which is great for job stability. Since it is a smaller company there are not as many layers of management which helps you make a name for yourself in the organization.

Cons

Even though the bank is growing and more profitable every year, they do not invest in their employees. Many departments are short staffed and that causes stress and higher turnover. The benefits need some work. It’s a high deductible plan with very high premiums. The HSA contribution is generous, but still does not make up for the high rising premiums. There is NO STD or maternity leave. This is a huge con! Invest in these things for your employees, we all know you can afford to. Many other banks do this and millennials these days are looking at that. The job market is changing and employees are looking for companies that invest in them and show appreciation for their hard work. Every year you talk about how profitable you are, yet employee perks, or lack thereof, don’t improve.

Pros

Very stable company, they don't get spooked easily by things that are happening in the market. I have a fantastic boss, but that's just my department, so I can't account for others.

Cons

No cons for me, my job is very flexible, I love it.

Pros

Good training program with nice colleagues. Good pay.

Cons

Everything is outdated. The headquarters in Elk Grove (yes, Elk Grove) is a trip back into the early 1980’s. Many people are confused finding the building too. I heard they just got their own computers late last year or so.
