Very Disappointing

Pros

Best clients and employees. I worked for the company for over 20 years and loved my job and contribution to the organization. I had the pleasure of working with all levels of staff, tellers to upper management. We were known for our strong sense teamwork and empowering others. I truly enjoyed most of my tenure with the company, highs and lows. However this past year and 1/2, just about removed that sentiment from my mind. Thanks goodness for memories.

Cons

Executive Management became the weakest link under the new leadership. Lack of respect or appreciation for their clients and employees. They did not care if they lost their best clients or their most talented employees. They are looking for order takers not strong employees to make a difference.

Pros

Salary is above average but that is changing now. Five years ago it was a good place to work for. Probably amongst the best local banks.

Cons

Low morale, staff is overworked, too many chiefs not doing anything, upper management is clueless. Training is a joke or non existant. Systems are over 10 years old. It's an opressive, tyrannical environment. Everyone is scared to lose their job. You move up in the ranks by who you know not because of your merrits. Regional manager yells and is verbally abusive and does not allow you to explain yourself. Employees walk in to the office and come out crying. Employees are taking on to many tasks at once and are overwhelmed by the workload. Policies and procedures change all the time because there is no uniformed system to make it all work. New CEO was hired to slash overhead which means even more workload to the current staff members. Bank is to be acquired by a private equity company and most likely sold in a few years to a big bank. The family wants out. They want their money and run for the hills. Overall the worst experience ever. I think prison would be a step up.
