First Bank Response
5y
Thank you for your feedback. First Bank has always been, and continues to be, committed to providing a collaborative environment that fosters employee and organizational growth so I’m disappointed to hear that wasn't your personal experience with us. We value our employees and encourage family/work life balance throughout our organization. We're also very proud of the reciprocated commitment our team has shown, with many in the mortgage department being a part of the First Bank Family for 10 years or more. Responsible budgeting and planning are crucial to the success of any business and each year we establish a budget that aligns with our dedication to continuous growth as it best fits the needs of our shareholders, employees, and customers. As a smaller, more intimate organization, we rely on our employees to embrace and thrive on independence, taking the initiative, and mutual trust. For those reasons, First Bank continues to grow and flourish each year which is directly attributed to the dedication and active, ongoing collaboration of our team members. Employee feedback is crucial to this growth and we will continue to solicit feedback internally to ensure that we maintain the highest levels of employee engagement and retention.
