Pros

Get to work with down to earth people who you could be and probably will be friends with outside of work, no matter what their title is. For the most part, everyone at Core is always looking for ways to improve the everyday work life. The job is fun, the people are great, the culture is great. I can't see myself ever working anywhere else.

Cons

None that I can think of

Pros

No pros could outweigh the cons of this bank.

Cons

My experience at this company was profoundly disappointing, to say the least. The blatant disregard for employees’ well-being is appalling and reflects a deeply ingrained toxic culture. It's worth noting that some of these positive reviews here were solicited by HR, who went as far as emailing select employees to post favorable reviews to artificially inflate their ratings. This fact alone should make you question the authenticity of those endorsements. The atmosphere within this organization is rich with manipulative, cliquey behavior, most of which is kept up by those in leadership roles. The HR department—ironically dubbed "People Officers"—only extends support if you're part of their inner circle. Genuine concerns raised by employees are routinely ignored or, worse, turned into workplace gossip, leaving many feeling isolated and distrustful. I have never experienced such favoritism in a corporate workplace as I did here. During my years with the bank, I witnessed a staggering lack of direction and consistency. Leadership would pivot values and priorities on a whim, leaving employees in a state of constant confusion. Open forums for employee feedback were a farce; questions were deflected or met with condescension, making it clear that honest communication was not welcome. Career development was practically non-existent, despite promises to the contrary, and there was a constant churn of employees— some quitting as soon as one week into their employment. Adding insult to injury, the phone number the company provides in their responses to poor reviews is nothing more than their general customer service line. It’s yet another example of how out of touch and disingenuous this company is in addressing legitimate concerns. While I had respect for my immediate team, the overall experience was marred by the toxic leadership and dysfunctional culture. I would strongly advise prospective employees to reconsider.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all reviews seriously as they provide valuable insight into our workplace and help us continue improving. While we’re sorry to hear that your experience at Core Bank didn’t align with our values, we would like to address some of the concerns raised. At Core Bank, our HR team works diligently to foster a supportive, inclusive, and transparent work environment for all employees. We are committed to providing resources for growth and development, such as our internal Core University and Leadership Development Academy and ensuring that every team member feels valued and heard. Regarding the claim that we asked employees to submit positive Glassdoor reviews, we want to clarify that while we have encouraged our team members to share their experiences on platforms like Glassdoor, we have never instructed anyone on what to say. Our intention has always been to invite honest, candid feedback, which we hope reflects the positive experiences many of our employees have at Core Bank. In terms of employee feedback, we take it very seriously and regularly listen to our employees through town halls, all-hands meetings, and leadership Q&A sessions. We have made changes based on this feedback to ensure we are continuously improving and meeting the needs of our employees. The claims regarding the HR team and work environment mentioned in this review do not reflect the feedback we receive from the majority of our employees or our ongoing efforts to promote a positive environment. However, we welcome the opportunity to better understand your specific concerns and I invite you to reach out to me directly at lwedel@corebank.com or 402-898-3341. I would be happy to discuss them further and explore how we can continue to improve. At Core Bank, we remain dedicated to fostering a collaborative, growth-oriented culture, where all employees feel supported and empowered. Thank you again for your time and feedback.
