Pros

This company is good if you are just passing through, regardless of rank. Some areas of the company have nice and easy to work with people. I do feel heard and thought of by my team lead- but this is not the norm.

Cons

This company does not offer competitive pay, nor does it listen to their employees who are begging for it. Even directors are hardly making a living wage. This has led to high turn over and those who choose to stay become very angry and hard to work with. It has created a very toxic environment both in branches and corporate offices. I don't recommend creating a career here, best to just pass through. They also have a hard time changing and moving forward in terms of office environment. Not only are they persistent that in office work is most beneficial (studies prove otherwise) but other programs and processes are inefficient.

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.
