Pros

Employed here 5 yrs.-- from a merger with another bank. I find the people here are outstanding to work with. Each department takes ownership of their stuff, then work together for the good of the company. New Colleagues are asked to "presume good will" and "be nice." Simple, but makes an environment I truly appreciate. The CEO asks two things, "Love what you do. Make a difference." Not that hard, I'm super glad to be here.

Cons

While my compensation is competitive, I understand the branch positions could be higher.

Pros

New president, no week end work for branch employees, multiple locations, free Orca passes, little to no overtime for branch employees.

Cons

Lack of training, very old school management, archaic processes and procedures, they sell benefits supposedly starting immediately but not true. Never know who you can trust whether it be a co-worker or manager in most departments. Very restrictive work environment. High turnover and no accountability.
