Pros

Great company 401k matching, no vest period. Base pay was decent.

Cons

Lack of Training, lots of Nepotism, extreme Pettiness, Unprofessionalism, Harassment, Retaliation. Supervisor will throw you under the bus and wont take accountability. If you say something or speak up, expect retaliatory disciplinary actions. Being a family owned bank, there are many senior level employees that are related to the CEO. Concerns and questions are swept under the rug. Reporting culture, where many people are BCC'd in your responses, etc. No one is direct here, not a team based collaborative environment. You'll get reported for things that make absolutely no sense. They will keep adding to your responsibilities and increase your goals 200-400% and maybe give you a 2-3% raise, with no bonus. The company is extremely stingy. The company can't keep top performers - because they over extend them as much as possible. The job can be done 100% remote, but they choose not to, for reasons unknown. Tons of SVB and new FCB employees leave because of the reasons above. Run away!!!

Pros

Great opportunity for learning and growth, and many people in the organization to learn from who are willing to help.

Cons

Over saturation of the market and unrealistic sales goals that are always changing make it difficult to set down stakes for the customers and team. Unlimited PTO leaves many managers picking up slack for multiple branches where other managers are rarely there, even when managers and team members out on medical leave.
