Pluspunten

401k, PTO and holidays, sick time - This company will vary a lot depending on who you're working directly under, so I won't review based on that. Even with my direct manager there are things that I like and dislike. The culture very much promotes customer-first mentality and needs-based conversations, which I personally think is great. That being said, the branches still have goals to work towards and, again, depending on who you're working directly under, your mileage may vary when it comes to how you're expected to meet those goals. I feel that they've handled the pandemic fairly well and show concern for the communities they work in and their employees, which is a huge plus.

Minpunten

Outdated technology. Most of the additional employment opportunities are in the main locations such as Daleville if you're looking to grow outside the retail side which may be a pro if you live nearby. I did have some friends in other departments who wished the work from home opportunities would branch out more, but being in Retail and in direct contact with customers, it's not something I can comment on personally.

You get all holidays off and paid.

Minpunten

This company does not prioritize its employees or its branches only money and sales. New hires receive minimal training and are immediately thrown into work on outdated systems from the 90s, none of which communicate with each other. It creates unnecessary stress and sets employees up to fail. They also do not pay employees for the time spent opening the branch in the morning; pay does not start until all opening procedures are completed. Every other bank pays for this time, and this practice feels both unfair and exploitative. HR can be extremely difficult to deal with. If you end up on their bad side, they may manipulate your schedule or misrepresent your hours. This environment does not feel safe or supportive. Overall, this company allows branches and customers to suffer due to poor management and prioritizing their own interests over basic employee welfare. Based on what I’ve seen, I’m genuinely surprised this bank is still operating the way it does.
