Pros

I work 2 miles from home Meeting and getting to know customers from the local area is the best part in my opinion

Cons

My branch manager doesn’t seem to appreciate the employees very much. In spite of everything we do to make the branch a top performing branch within that region. I am consistently scheduled to work 40 hours a week in spite of being a part time 20 hours per week employee. We are not allowed to sit in our chairs at our teller stations. Cuts our lunch break times down to 20 - 30 mins frequently without a good reason Little tiny water bottles in fridge are for customers ONLY; employees are to use a very small and flimsy plastic cup to fill from the water cooler Branch manager seems to be all about the negative he/she can find within the branch on a daily basis and also seems to love to discipline employees for those findings. I’m talking about minor things such as the tv wasn’t turned on by opening @ 8:30 when he/she schedules you to arrive @ 8:15 to open the branch. 15 minutes to get computer up in order to clock in, makes 3 different coffees to be set out, open main vault, get cash drawers out, open night drop, work all night drop deposits, turn tv on AND ALL BE COMPLETED IN 15 MINUTES, or else be written up for not having the tv on!! NOT COOL and not to mention that consistent negativity and very little praise makes for a low work morale and leaves employees feeling always less than. And in spite of the branch being a top ranked branch! Customers are complaining about the high turnover rate of the tellers at that location and know it has to be for a reason, ya know?!

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.
