Pros

The only pro would be the holiday schedule.

Cons

Lack of communication from management. Claim to be a community bank, not very friendly to the community. Customers are a number, get them in and out and sell every product there is.

Pros

The customer are wonderful and this bank can compete with the big banks and still give that community small bank feel.

Cons

Management is completely disconnected from the retail staff. They set unrealistic goals and make requests that they themselves are not willing to do.
