Pros

Quiet, professional, small business feel. Customer oriented. Followed strict guidelines for bankin . Allowed you to be more comfortable with customers. Small town feel large bank.

Cons

Old school banking in a new tech age. Not very employee friendly. Doesn't allow for many perks. Small quarterly bonus after meeting almost impossible goals.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
