Pros

The benefits are some of the best in the area. Bank is conservative and stable. Location downtown is nice for walking to eat. IT has a great work-life balance. 40-hour weeks, every week.

Cons

Employees in the tech center are "out to pasture". This is where you go at the end of your career to coast and build up that 401k. Slow to embrace technology.

Pros

Great opportunity for learning and growth, and many people in the organization to learn from who are willing to help.

Cons

Over saturation of the market and unrealistic sales goals that are always changing make it difficult to set down stakes for the customers and team. Unlimited PTO leaves many managers picking up slack for multiple branches where other managers are rarely there, even when managers and team members out on medical leave.
