Pros

flexible working hours in the branch network

Cons

very demanding and stressful environment. The upper management of the bank has turned itself completely over 3 times in the last year and each new person brings further changes to the corporate structure and culture. Still no lending has been okayed by the federal government as the cash reserves of the bank are not sufficient enough to support the practice. Guaranty's mission has become one of a customer at any cost and are willing to approve anyone provided they pay for the account and its monthly services. This is a very non-employee focused company and you quickly become a number.

Pros

The employees at the corporate headquarters are very friendly and helpful. They're a great group to work with and, in general, senior leadership is friendly and down-to-earth. It makes for an environment that at least seems transparent and gives employees the feel that they understand the challenges facing the organization. They are great about helping employees maintain a work-life balance, and Doug and Jerry really uphold the company values. Employees have the sense that senior leaders have employees' and customers' best interests in mind when making company decisions.

Cons

The Bank does not see professional development as a priority, which can stagnate one's career. Managers have so many other responsibilities that they do not have time left to appropriately coach and manage their people, which can lead to a disconnect in terms of expectations for results. The company continues to make decisions with a "loss aversion" mentality. They continue down paths where money has already been lost because of the investment, rather than carving out new paths for success.
