Pros

The bank is responding to employee survey results admirably. Improvements in compensation, communication, systems and technology are planned. The bank is well capitalized and highly rated by the rating agencies. Its as healthy a bank as there is in the entire country.

Cons

The management at the top have for the most part lived though the Grundhofer regime (notoriously cheap), and while they may collectively agree with Davis' desire to update the organization, I don't feel any of them are interested in or capable of pulling this off. The real improvements will like happen as newer blood moves up the chain of command.

Pros

The pay is market average, and the benefits are quite good. I love my peers. The vast majority of them are kind and talented people. I truly enjoyed my first several years with the company. Well past the honeymoon period for a new employer. And at the time, I recommended this place to anyone I knew looking for a job.

Cons

Management is a mess from the bottom up. The culture of the company has drastically changed over the last several years because of frequent retirements, layoffs, and reorganizations. Employees I know from across describe the same experience: the company has gone from outstanding culture to one that feels openly hostile to its employees. Management decisions are built like cudgels and enforced through all stick and no carrot.
