Pros

Great co-workers that help each other

Pretty good but needs some work

Pros

Growing company, large established banks with lots of support from regulators, great benefits. Very nice people. Great time off policy.

Cons

Average pay but not top of the market. Weak leadership across the company. Very very cheap company in a lot of ways. They don't really innovative or anything. They just buy and absorb troubled banks. So it's a pretty chaotic and disorganized culture also going through some huge merger every 18 months. Also a very old school deep south mind set. The people are very nice and pleasant to work with. But management is very stubborn and set in their ways. Very conservative and beuractaric.

Pros

Not to many pros that most other banks don’t have. Ok WLB

Cons

Way below market compensation, benefits, and no plans to change it. Lack of career mobility and visibility from leadership
