      It's a decent stepping stone.

      Pros

      Your co-workers feel like family. You opportunities to learn what it's like to help a smaller company grow. If you stay long enough, you have ample room to step up the ladder. Good for those looking to gain experience in banking.

      Cons

      There will be plenty of times where your work-life balance just becomes work and no life. I don't have benefits through FMB, but my co-workers complain that they pay a good amount for mediocre coverage. Goals are hard to hit especially with lack of advertising and locations in some regions.

      Would not recommend

      Customer service associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Only positive aspects were the relationships made with customers

      Cons

      HR does not listen to employees & they do not care about employees. Very low paid compared to competitors, even with experience. They do not promote within like they should even if you are exceptionally qualified. If a manager does not like you, do to expect HR or anyone to do anything about it. Nothing will be done in your favor.
