Pros

Dedicated to customer service, genuinely care about customers; good benefits; good vacation policy; home-grown, small town culture; careful about protecting customers and bank interests; not salesy; managed very conservatively.

Cons

Extreme micro-managing; low salaries; openly discourage initiative, innovation, and streamlining; overly focused on mistakes and create rules upon rules to try to prevent mistakes; constantly change said rules and procedures thereby killing efficiency; they don't keep their word and make empty promises; they hold pointless meetings and take pointless surveys but nothing changes or improves; they pick favorites and unfairly promote; they don't adequately train and certainly don't develop; and they say you can advance and change departments but this is true only for the favorites and "yes" men...and the leadership constantly reminds everyone that they are in control...the place is very dysfunctional, there is a black cloud hanging over it.

Pros

Stable company that has been around long term. Good Benefits - time off, insurance paid for (employee only), bonuses. Several long term employees, but management typically does a good job of identifying those that are ready to move up if their work performance puts them ahead of someone who has been there longer.

Cons

Still a very conservative industry. Expect business dress (no tennis shoes and jeans only on Friday), natural hair colors, limited visible tattoos and piercings. Banks can't be closed for too many days in a row, so don't expect to get a day off for bad weather.
