Pros

This is a fantastic bank to work for. My boss was great and very supportive. I had to leave for personal reasons, but would definitely work there again.

Cons

The benefits were a little expensive and they won't pay for cell phone reimbursement.

Pros

First Citizens cares for their employees & provides great benefits & growth opportunity.

Cons

The budget is too tight in some areas. We didn't even get an area Christmas party because there "wasn't enough money in the budget."

Pros

The bank is financially sound and offers fair pay with good benefits. Retail branch positions are good in the former IronStone branches because there is not a heavy volume of customer traffic.

Cons

The bank is really struggling to find a way to make money in this down economy without changing its ultra-conservative credit philosophy and its centralized operating model with few branches in the former IronStone markets. This leads to imposing impossible goals on employees and terminating them when goals can't be met. Some markets have had high turnover in local management and business lending.
