Pros

Great benefits. Positions are salary not commission based which can be good or bad depending on your personality.

Cons

Very limited in what the company will lend on; they are an owner occupied commercial real estate lender. They don't vary far from office and industrial properties. work/life balance is not good for those in a sales role.

Pros

As a veteran retail banker, this bank treats its employees better than most. It lacks the "micro-management" culture that I had become so used to; rather, it places a high value on building client relationships and offering superb customer service. Branch employees are expected to sell, but product-pushing doesn't exist here.

Cons

First Citizens Bank and Trust Company, headquartered inhoping some of the ProsColumbia, SC, is merging with its sister bank, First Citizens Bancshares, headquartered in Raleigh, NC. Not sure at this time what the new organization will look like, but hope that some of the Pros above remain unchanged.
