Pros

Training is available for all facets of the bank, you can move up and around the company with relative ease, pay is comparable (and sometimes higher) than similar sized banks, and the schedule is set with 40 hours, so you always know what to expect. PTO is generous, and earned quickly.

Cons

The company overall puts the emphasis on sales and not on service. You are expected to meet sales goals that are out of reach, and the pressure is very high to make every conversation result in a sale, but sometimes at the expense of what your customer really needs. The corporate business model also closes branches without much concern for the customers or staff that are affected.

Pros

Financial stability is a benefit.

Cons

Employee pay and benefits are sub-par for the IT side of the house. Employee satisfaction varies largely based on the group within IT due to management expectations. Managers look at any blip of red or yellow on their portfolios and threaten workers or make cuts accordingly to please senior management. Mid level managers, from my experience, have little training or ability to coach their direct reports or understand their jobs at all.

Pros

Benefits and Pto is really good

Cons

The Columbia SC park st location is awful. The mortgage department needs new management. They do not value their employees and also treat their black employees very badly. One of the supervisors that's there is very mean and rude she always lose people on her team. She normally only have 3 people on her team because of her unethical ways. The trainer doesn't know anything about mortgage to be a trainer. She's only In her position because of who she knows. She the meanest person you can meet. She has gotten directly in multiple employees faces and yelled at them. Most people end up quitting because of the racist treatment. Also, they under pay minorities. Everyone in the mortgage division treat processors like they do not matter. The LOs are rude and unprofessional. They do not produce quality files, however you have to make a miracle happen.
