Pros

At one point in time (when it was First Federal) this company was a great place to work. I really felt as if upper management and the company as a whole cared about its employees. My co-workers have all been great people (with the exception of one very lazy manager).

Cons

This company doesn't invest in its employees. So many dedicated workers, myself included, have been turned down for promotions or career changes within the company. Why stay at a company that won't invest in your future or limit your growth?! They are losing great employees and it's going to keep happening unless something changes. The company is also turning into a "big bank". Definitely losing the community bank feel and the customers plus front-line employees are noticing and not liking it.
