Pros

Excellent rates, very reliable process, knowledgeable and efficient operations team that cares about the buyer's experience, special portfolio programs, promotional incentives, competitive compensation plan.

Cons

Some process policy changes and marketing requests take longer than with other lenders because the impact to the entire bank must be considered.

Pros

I started at Hancock Whitney 15 years ago as a teller and have progressed to a Commercial Banker. Throughout my career, the bank has supported me through graduate school, GSBLSU, leadership programs, Louisiana Bankers Association courses, and other professional development opportunities. Hancock Whitney encourages associates to be involved in their communities through volunteer efforts, professional organizations, and local events. Internally, Associate Resource Groups provide opportunities to connect with associates across the company. My experience has been supportive teams, opportunities for growth, and a culture that encourages both professional development and community involvement. Nearly 15 years later, I'm still here, which probably says more than anything else I could write in this review.

Cons

Like many large organizations, decisions and changes can sometimes take time to work through multiple levels of the company.

Pros

Honestly all the pros went away with merger with Whitney.

Cons

Mindset that all Whitney employees are better than Hancock employees and that all Hancock employees should be terminated. Before merger Hancock was a great company to work for and treated like you really mattered. But after merger anyone that was Hired on by Hancock Holding Company was treated like garbage and constantly under microscope to find the slightest thing to terminate for. No room for advancement.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that your time with us, particularly following the merger, did not reflect the environment you valued earlier in your career. We recognize that periods of change, like a merger, can bring challenges, and we regret that you felt a shift in culture and support during that time. Your feedback is important and reinforces the need for us to continually evaluate how we lead, communicate, and ensure fairness and inclusion across all teams. We remain committed to building an environment where all associates, regardless of legacy organization, can grow, contribute, and build their future with us. Thank you again for your candid feedback; it helps us continue to learn and improve.
