Pros

Nice people, opportunity for growth, variety of things to do, convenient location and good products. Plenty of job security.

Cons

Bad training, unpaid OT, poor leadership, high turnover from overwork, being berated by lenders because we can't deliver what they need due to poor training and too much work on our plates from others leaving. We were told in our interviews we would rarely work OT but I have done so nearly every day for over 6 months and some have been over a year. The new people aren't loaded down at first, but eventually they will when a long-term person leaves because they can't afford to work unpaid OT and have time taken away from their families. The long-term people are told to not let their feelings be known to the new ones to not scare them off. We're worn out and frustrated.

Pros

Simmons Bank is a great place to work if you value positive intangible employment characteristics including but not limited to: work/life balance, low stress, competent management, co-workers and stakeholders that are easy to work with, aversion to rising benefit premiums, high stability and back office job security, and overall positive corporate culture. If you want to easily tolerate or even enjoy your job, but also want to leave work at the office, Simmons Bank can acquiesce.

Cons

Simmons Bank is conservative in the corporate sense, and is not typically on the bleeding edge of compensation for those working as individual contributors in the back office. However, one can easily earn a more than honest living (or better depending on the department).

Pros

Small enough company that you can talk to leadership and voices matter. Culture used to be great. Lots of middle management understands the obstacles employees face and fights for the better.

Cons

The entire company is centered around Arkansas/Little Rock/Pine Bluff. There are other markets with massive opportunity that are always getting ignored. Everything is looked at through the lens of how things are done, ran, budgeted, ect in LR. Lots of recent change has caused a lot of bankers to leave and start looking for jobs elsewhere because they’re tired of lack of leadership.
