Pros
Good benefits. ESOP program with this company is attractive if you stay there long enough. Some perks from other companies in the industry: sporting event tickets, concert tickets, etc.
Cons
Company on the Good Ole' Boy system. You need to hang out with the right group to advance in the branch. Many family groups work here so they have each others backs and they tend to get good positions and not be held as accountable as the average employee. You don't really have an option to move up to the corporate side. This company takes the strategy to buy out the competition so most of the VPs and Execs are either long time Freeman family friends or were part of a buyout deal to keep them on as an exec.
