Pros

Monday thru Friday no weekends and holidays paid.

Cons

Low information Management teams. No common sense, no vision and planning is ridiculous. Strong educated people are shunned in favor of low information types. An employee with a masters in HR and experience with a large corporation was place in a loan supervisory position when she had no loan experience, then they berated her for being stupid about loans! 2 weeks later HR hired someone with no education or experience in HR for their dept. (instead of a employee with a masters in HR who wanted the job.) The didn't want any educated HR people it seems.

Pros

Good hours of operation. Good benefits.

Cons

Their systems are behind the times and a lot is still done by paper. They implement new programs before they are fully tested. They don't have a support system or department that actually knows all the answers and are often incorrect with their guidance.
