I thought they were good at first - Financial Services Associate Hancock Whitney Bank Employee Review

Pros

I was able to move up fast at first. I went from part time teller to full time teller then a platform. I worked at the main branch at first so I was constantly busy which was good but i was later transfered to a closer branch so I wasn't making such a long commute. The part time tellers make good money but when I went full time they give you less money. I had to fight to get more then the starting pay cause they wanted to pay me the same as some one who had no experience and I had 2 years of experience already. Now that I'm platform I'm still making like 5 dollars less then others in the same position.

Cons

Unfortunately the branch I transferred to doesn't really have any management. They never made their goals and the other staff would get away with stuff cause they were friends with the immediate management. I enjoy what I do but I'm the only one with goals so it puts a lot of pressure on me and then I end up doing a teller position too cause they are always short handed so I can never fully focus on my job. I have finally got the branch meeting the goals. And also the policies are always changing and they dont inform us at the branch so we are constantly having to redo things or we look bad in front of the customers cause we say one thing and its another. The good people always get reprimanded or laid off but those who don't do their work stays and gets good pay.

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.
