Pros

HSA plan is good and convenient since you can open it at the bank.

Cons

There is not much opportunity for career growth. The company tends to assign more work to employees who want to grow instead of helping them achieve their goals. Management does not say thank you or compensate you in any way for the extra time and work. The Horizon way is to promote you after doing the extra work for 6months - 1 year. This means job title and pay are the same after you have already transitioned to the new department. With that being said, bonuses are also based on your current salary and job title, which means if you were promoted you will need until the following bonus period to be considered at the new level. They do not really offer growth plans...just a bunch of lateral moves within the company They also hire most positions as exempt so they do not need to pay overtime, even though it is expected quite often. They don't tell you that you will need to work rotating Saturdays until after you are trained and on the schedule. Saturday's are usually slow, but it would have still been nice to know when accepting the position. The Saturday branch may also be different than the regular branch you work at so keep that in mind since it may be a longer commute. I did rate the CEO as disapprove because he doesn't come around. Most people at the bank do not even know what he looks like and wouldn't recognize him if he walked into a department. The only people that have met him are the ones who have been working there 5+ years or are in management.
