Thank you for your review. We strongly believe in development and are happy to hear you were able to job shadow with others across the Bank to build your skillset. While we might not be a "remote-first" organization, we do believe in a work/life balance and offer a hybrid work schedule for most employees.

Thank you for your review. As a mid-sized financial services organization, we're proud to offer a rich Total Rewards package, including excellent healthcare benefits and 401(k) match, as well as the ability to find a work/life balance with hybrid work. And while upward mobility may not look the same as larger organizations, we still nurture employee development so every employee is prepared for their next opportunity, even if it's a lateral move. And for that "archaic performance appraisal system" - you're right! And because of that, we waved goodbye to our old way in 2022 and have introduced a new performance enablement process that empowers employees to do their best through consistent coaching and feedback to reach goals.

Thank you for your review. Yes, our people and our environment are great! We know our pay and benefits are above market, too, but we are always improving our total rewards for employees so we can provide the benefits and work/life balance they need.
