First Merchants reviews

- Archaic technology for a $14.5 Billion bank. - The company is currently failing, in my opinion. All qualified employees are quitting and going to different companies. Qualified retail employees are disrespected on a daily basis by power tripping employees in back office. - They cannot fully staff a single branch and state it is due to the pandemic, or people going on unemployment. Both are false, people who quit go to different companies. - The executive level of the bank got completely jumbled up recently (public knowledge), usually a bad sign. - Insane sales goals that cannot be met because there isn't enough time to handle the foot traffic because there aren't enough employees. - Most days you're too busy to drink water - Company accelerated through its growth cycle too fast without building the correct infrastructure to support the growth.

Not a friendly work environment. Every director I met at FMB had their nose up in the air and thought they were better than everyone. HR is SLOW and non responsive. This bank thinks they’re chase bank and the people act like they are. They’re barely comparable to STAR bank. Dress code is strictly enforced. A lot of good employees have left this year because they promote the laziest employees before the hard workers. Not impressed with this place and so glad I left.
