Great at first. but the bank became more focused on acquisitions than their own employees. Morale suffered greatly. - Commercial Underwriter SouthState Employee Review

Pros

Strong Management Team. Willing to promote from within when possible. Job security with most supervisors. Benefits & Vacation were reasonable. Access to managment team was excellent (in the beginning years)!

Cons

Morale and doom and gloom attitude need to improve from the top down. The managment team needs to better understand how their visible stress and 'crisis mode' attitudes trickle down and affect the entire employee base and their perceptions about the 'health' and stability of the company. Heavy workload. Little recognition. Some supervisors allow flexible hours & some forbid it. More consistency or understanding needed here. Especially for department changers.
