Pros

Good company that likes to promote from within. A hard worker can build a great career. There are a number of great options for for getting more education as, at the time, the company was paying almost 75% of tuition costs. That's unheard of in today's economy!

Cons

Slow to change and salary management is a little weird.

Pros

Active in the communities they service, growing bank, leadership in Indiana is accessible and personable. Work-Life balance is good. Benefits as far as time off are very generous. Offer a lot of benefits to help employees save for the future, excellent 401(k) and stock purchase program.

Cons

Columbus, OH "leadership" is awful. Stay away unless you want your soul slowly drained. yelling, placing blame, backstabbing, and manipulation are the norm. At times, entire organization moves slowly to embrace changes and advancing with the times. Technology is far behind and allowing certain location to keep their different name does nothing to build one culture.
