      Pros

      Co-workers are wonderful to work with and we have lovely clients. The people I share my day with are the reason I have stuck around.

      Cons

      Even with the 5% increase last year and a marginal increase this year, ice cream scoopers are still making more money per hour with exceptional benefits. Bonuses are based on your branch’s success not the company as a whole. More is being asked of Personal bankers (going out into the field and being assigned company laptops to do business outside of the branch). Compensation should match the job requirements and definitely be more than what a high school student would make in the fast food industry. I have seen some turnover in my division and unfortunately it will continue.

      Thank you for your comments and I certainly appreciate your perspective. We recognize the issue of pay compression and are working to address it by providing tools to make us more efficient. The long term answer is fewer better paid, highly trained and effective bankers

      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.
