Pros

Biweekly pay, but that's about it.

Cons

This company struggles with a toxic culture, lack of transparency, and high burnout. Leadership ignores workload concerns, despite rising turnover, and communication is consistently poor. Pay and bonuses are inconsistent and fully at leadership’s discretion with no guarantee of receiving, despite strong performance, inflation, or market shifts. Performance bonuses are vague and mostly issued in stock, with vesting and forfeiture information buried in the company intranet and only available after hiring. Employees must also open a company bank account for direct deposit—undisclosed until after joining. The in-office policy is unfair and enforced despite no real office culture—focused more on appearances than productivity—while remote flexibility is reserved for a select few. Chronic understaffing and limited resources lead to long hours and ongoing pressure. If you’re looking for a supportive and transparent employer, this is not the place.

Pros

Fast paced and entrepreneurial environment. Lots of opportunity to be creative and build something that you can own. I've been here a few years now and it's been exciting to be part of the growth. Management is generally supportive and are hyper-focuses on a customer experience.

Cons

The pace can be demanding, especially during periods of growth or organizational change. Change management can sometimes be an afterthought and impact team workload when new bankers are brought on. Expectations are high... need to be agile and driven to survive here. Deferred equity on bonus is too high.

Pros

Pay & benefits aren't bad Some very good people to work with

Cons

Management may be forward focused, but they are moving too fast without concern for or anticipation of consequences. Childish and unrealistic "I want it, I want it right now" mentality. Toxic culture, heavy workload and, long hours, yet management is always complaining. New processes without training, lack of communication between departments and what there is - it's mostly negative. I hear complaints from all areas related to the company and management. Frequent layoffs, reduced work force to cut costs and inflate the bottom line. Board members and earnings are the only concern. Many mistakes from previous bank failures are happening here - many of those employees have been hired and have the same expectations of how a bank should run as they did with their previous bank, which again, failed.
