      Pros

      It's a smaller bank and they have a great vision/values. It could be a great place to work if you want to be in banking long-term - opportunities to move up in the company.

      Cons

      The pay is very low. When I interviewed, employees were expected to earn about $15-20k in bonuses, but they dropped the bonus structure 4 weeks after I got hired and instead raised my yearly salary by 1k, which didn't even come close to replacing the potential income I would have had. Because of that change, I could not stick with the company long term. I needed to make more money to provide for my family.

      Good Until it Wasn't

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work from home for all back office staff, very reasonable health insurance plan, and some fun perks - Christmas party, opportunity for free tickets to events, and 6 month bonuses (although these are tied to stock price - do NOT let them tell you these are a part of your compensation, they can't be relied on)

      Cons

      Income does not keep up with inflation, and if you are a hard worker and overachiever you will be taken advantage of. While there are ERGs, they are brand new and many regional management teams are incredibly anti-diversity and inclusion. While there are wonderful individuals here, it is an incredibly conservative field and a bit behind the times overall. Use incredible caution if you are disabled, LGBTQ, or a young professional. HR as a whole is very unlikely to assist you. If you are unfairly or erroneously placed on a performance improvement plan, there is no recourse for clearing your name.
