Pros
First American Bank is a smaller community bank that is growing. That is a good and bad thing. They are a very stable bank which is great for job stability. Since it is a smaller company there are not as many layers of management which helps you make a name for yourself in the organization.
Cons
Even though the bank is growing and more profitable every year, they do not invest in their employees. Many departments are short staffed and that causes stress and higher turnover. The benefits need some work. It’s a high deductible plan with very high premiums. The HSA contribution is generous, but still does not make up for the high rising premiums. There is NO STD or maternity leave. This is a huge con! Invest in these things for your employees, we all know you can afford to. Many other banks do this and millennials these days are looking at that. The job market is changing and employees are looking for companies that invest in them and show appreciation for their hard work. Every year you talk about how profitable you are, yet employee perks, or lack thereof, don’t improve.
