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.

Family comes first, which makes me want to work here even longer. Fantastic values, and you get holidays and weekends off!

My goal is to change our culture and training so that career opportunities are seen by all employees. It turns out we will have a lot of succession in the near future and with our growth that equals opportunity.
