      Not to good

      Pros

      Good beneifits and generaly good people to work with at the branch level. The retirement plan is good as they match up to 3 pecent of your pay towards it. hours of opperation are also good .

      Cons

      Upper management is inconsistent with what they do or what they want and expect from the employes. There is never enough time to complete one job before something else is thrown at you and then they get upset that you could not finish the first project that was gven to you. There is to much bouncing around and no consistant leadership with in the company.

      Great place to grow! Hard work rewarded!

      Pros

      It has enabled me to further expand my skill set and knowledge base! I came to the company ready to work hard and let it be known that I was interested in growing and expanding my abilities. I talked at length with the leadership of my department regarding my interests. After working in my initial role for a year, I was able to successfully post for and move into a position with greater exposure and responsibility. The new role has proven to be challenging, but very rewarding! My continuing efforts to grow have been well supported by management.

      Cons

      The company benefit of college assistance should be expanded from assistance for an undergraduate degree to obtaining graduate degrees. Many of the corporate positions require a minimum of an undergrad degree so, this benefit really isn't useful to those who already have one. Also, a company of this size should expand the current vacation benefits to better align themselves with many other corporations who award more time.

      Good stability, big company "drink the KoolAid" mindset.

      Pros

      The company is extremely stable, and if you tow the company line you'll have a job there forever.

      Cons

      Towing the company line. I was told to agree with senior management even if my years of business experience told me different action was necessary. Agility and innovation in management are not this company's strong points.
