Pros

First Merchants is a company that definitely cares about its clientele as well as the people that work for them. There's always room for growth if you're wanting to transition into a different position, whether that's retail or commercial. Great work-life balance. Managers are usually pretty understanding if unusual circumstances arise.

Cons

Unfortunately, because the company is a smaller bank, the pay is a lot less than the bigger banks. As well as the transaction processes behind the teller line not being up-to-date with the larger banks. You may sometimes feel like you have to internally make the pay worth it for all the things required of a teller.
