Pros

Work life balance can be good. Learn basics of banking.

Cons

Stress, low pay and high expectations. The bank is very poorly run and it is evident through out the entire company. Many individuals are not competent at their jobs and the ones that are competent, complain constantly about low pay. This was at the corporate office and other offices. I have witness people explode over stress and others who work just to get by. Only work here if you have no where else to go.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
