Thank you for your review. Yes, we are a high-performing organization and it’s because of the people who work here. We are proud to have again made the top 10 in the Forbes list of “Best Banks in America” – and we know we couldn’t accomplish this without great people. We’re sorry to hear you believe that training was an issue – in fact, we have substantial training and employee professional development resources and programs in place. From education reimbursement to budgets and programs for professional development and attendance at industry conferences, our bank invests in our people and many employees grow here and build positive, long-term careers. We’re sorry this wasn’t the case for you. We hope you have found a great employment fit elsewhere.
