Pros

Good place to work. Great people. Still has that personal feeling you don't feel like you are working for a bigger company. There is a bonus period that the branch strives to achieve The hours are great no weekends and closed on holidays.

Cons

I have to agree with other reviews the rate of pay is low. The benefits don't out way the low pay. The bonus I mentioned above is a nice attempt to give you the feeling of making more money. Makes it difficult to attract talented people for an entry level position.

Thank you for your feedback. I feel like we are making strides to recognize the top performers and to provide better training and career paths. The cookies were not intended to be a bonus, but just a nice thank you gesture. My door is also open if you would like to discuss. Thank you and have a wonderful holiday season

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
