Pros

The work life balance in the technology departments was amazing, HSA Bank is very accommodating when it comes to its employees needs. No questions are asked if you need to work from home or take time off for doctor's appointments or family needs. IT pay is also at or above industry standards and benefits are good all around. The majority coworkers were great to work with and most management in IT is solid. They run a decent agile shop. All in all culture is pretty good, and they are doing a good job of working out any kinks. HSA Bank is also a growing company that doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon.

Cons

This bank started out as a small bank in Sheboygan, WI, and one con is that it has kept some of its small town mentality as it has grown. Some employees are very resistant to change and see working at the bank for 10+ years as a badge of honor, rather than seeing that they have outdated and stale ideas, and that there is much improvement to be made (technologically being one major example). The growth of the HSA industry has made it seem like what has been built previously is what made them successful, which is not necessarily the case. From an IT perspective, it can be like pulling teeth to teach long time employees/managers outside of IT things that have long been industry standard in tech. On another technology note, leadership is just starting to realize that they have fallen behind and have fairly understaffed development resources for a company run largely via software. They needed management consultants to come in and tell them they needed to start widescale digital transformation efforts, but the consultants also did not tell them how to do that. So, instead of hiring people with these skills or relying on newer employees with backgrounds in digital transformation, they decided to let long time employees who have not led digital transformation efforts lead such efforts. One such group is their product management group, which is led by some of the least digitally-saavy product managers you will find. Lastly, their parent company is even slower and farther behind technologically, which makes it even harder to effect good change with agility as the parent company continues to take more control.

Pros

The benefits and pto are the only pros I can think of.

Cons

Management doesn’t care about your opinion, they’ll literally tell you what you want to hear but then nothing will change. Talking about change, don’t even think about getting use to a process because the whole damn procedure will change the next day!! Coworkers are horrible, always complaining and only care about themselves. You can be a top performer, yet you will get nothing out from it. Eventually you’ll just want to come to work do the bare minimum and that’s that. Depending on your team, you might get lucky and have great people to work with and decent work, but this job will drain the life out of you.

Pros

Some of the people were ok. Free coffee and hot chocolate. I liked learning new things about health saving accounts and tax forms.

Cons

Pay was not great at all. During training class, several mgrs come in and introduce themselves to you and talk about how its like family and everyone will help you. After you get on the floor you'll soon realize how untrue that is. My biggest complaint is management and reaching out to a lead for support. They were never available and boy when they were, they talked to you like scum. They'd say things like 'what do you need' or 'I'm busy, have you tried you lead'. Well duh, why would I not follow my lead list! I had an issue where someone gave me the wrong info to tell the customer and my mgr told me next time just do it and if I get in trouble for it he'll address it at that time. I honestly felt like I had to have my own back because no one else there would. Another thing is when leads don't know the answer they'll tell you to tell your customer they'll follow up and call back. THEY DO NOT FOLLOW UP. I had to reach out to a lead like 4 times for the same thing over 2 weeks and he finally responded to me and told me to call the customer and tell her were still checking into it. I felt so ashamed telling that poor elderly woman that, I felt like we were taking advantage of her. Horrible company to work for aned horrible lead and management team. I could say more but this was a lot.
