Merger was a disaster

Recommend

Pros

None I can think of

Cons

Senior management throughout the merger process was uncommunicative, despite CEO's assurance that Sunflower culture was one of transparency. Asked to describe the culture of Sunflower in one word, the CEO said "accountability," but she never took personal accountability for her two (!!) arrests during the merger process.

Steer Clear

Pros

Has some good people in various departments that are trying to make a difference. Not much else positive.

Cons

From the top down this is a massively imploding company. The CEO has messed up prior companies and is doing the same here. The company also struggles with a poor culture and no identity of what it wants to be. There isn't any communication on the direction the company is going. Planning is nonexistent here. Projects are rushed and not well thought out. There are so many fires to put out that nothing meaningful gets truly accomplished. For your sanity, steer clear and find another place to work.

Pros

Pros... Free coffee? Honestly, it's a little tough to think of a pro. But the people there are great. And if you love politics and mud slinging amongst departments, then you'll find it entertaining here.

Cons

You're a number, not a person. The infrastructure can't support their master plan of being the next powerhouse bank. Communication is non-existent. The culture is sad. If you aren't meeting goals, you're forced to resort to desperate measures, which will alienate customers. But the higher ups don't care, hit your dang numbers. Tunnel vision at its finest, zero attention to customer retention because all the numbers are based on customer acquisition. It's just not fun, or healthy. The people working in Salina work there because there isn't other options in Salina, and turnover in their new markets is high because salaries aren't competitive. If you're desperate for a job, go for it. But if you want to have fun and enjoy your job without stress or a ridiculous amount of politics, look elsewhere. The failed merger with First Western in Denver left a huge black eye and a ton of angst among employees. They have some grand plan on having headquarters in Denver or Overland Park, with no method to their madness (at least nine was communicated).
