Pros

In the city of Wheeling jobs are at a premium. WesBanco offers a good starting place for individuals without a lot of experience. The department managers are generally nice and accommodating. The benefits are alright and include good health care from 2 or 3 companies, but premiums are pretty high. 401k is also included. With all of the retail stores paying minimum wage, WesBanco offers an alternative. If you live in the Wheeling area and you don't want to drive to Pittsburgh for a job WesBanco can be a good alternative. If you come in at the right positon this may be a good company for you.

Cons

The vacation time offered at WesBanco is one of the biggest disappointments. Also there is no recognition for good employee performance. It is just assumed that you should be doing a good job. Raises are insignificant. There is always an excuse why they are only 3% or less, while excutive management makes millions in their own bonuses. Banking is generally a male oriented business and that is no different here. It would be nice if management acknowledge that the "little" people keep this bank running and we are set the tone for customer satisfaction. There is little incentive to go the "extra mile" for a company that won't do that for it's employees.

Pros

Benefit and PTO and the hours

Cons

Working for WesBanco was once a positive and rewarding experience, but under the current management structure, morale has significantly declined. There is a clear disconnect between leadership and the day-to-day realities of how the system operates and how work actually gets done. Decisions are being made by individuals who do not appear to fully understand workflow, staffing limitations, or operational demands. There is also a concerning double standard in expectations. Management is permitted extended lunches outside the office, while frontline employees are required to remain on site sometimes without a proper lunch break because we are running on a skeleton crew. Employees are expected to continuously cover operations without adequate relief, which is both unsustainable and unfair. The burden consistently falls on the same employees who show up every day, keep the office functioning, and meet customer needs despite staffing shortages. These employees deserve leadership support, fair treatment, and adequate coverage—not burnout. If WesBanco wants to retain dedicated staff and maintain performance standards, leadership must address staffing gaps, enforce consistent expectations across all levels, and demonstrate accountability. Without meaningful change, morale and retention will continue to suffer.
