Pros

Great place to work. The bank is growing and servicing one of the hottest areas in the economy. Very Flat organization. Culture of empowerment and collaboration.

Cons

The bank is still growing, so there are the usual growing pains associated with that. Most notably on the systems and product side.

Pros

The people are willing to roll up their sleeves and do what it takes to get the job done. The company is a good company - and potential for company growth is there. Salary and benefits are good

Cons

Where do I start? I have been here a few years and normally a company gets better - sadly - it’s the opposite. Nepotism has taken a forefront and because of this unskilled people are put into very high roles. These are the people running projects and making decisions - which is very unfortunate since we don’t get paid to churn. The drop in price stock is a painful indicator of how poorly we execute. The only way to move forward is to organize the work, value to talent, and have a solid plan for execution. If things stay the way they are that will never happen. We will continue to run on a few cylinders instead of all of them.
