Pros

First Merchants is an excellent place to work. It is very much a team oriented environment, where teammates support and encourage one another to succeed. Those that work hard are identified and recognized by management. There are great advancement opportunities for hard workers willing to put in the time and effort. Upper management cares about employees and their success.

Cons

I can't think of a single con.

Pros

People are consistently quiting so job advancement is a real possibility. Locations throughout the state. Executive team is very strong.

Cons

Culture is really off there. No excitement and you operate in constant fear of discipline. Bank is not committed to helping employees find solutions for customers even at the expense of damaging great relationships. When you are able to be successful praise is hard to come by and pay is even harder.
