Pros

Good benefits package and one yearly bonus of around 500 or 750 If you’re blessed with a good team and managers it’s doable Getting to know, my customers is the best and helping them meet their financial goals

Cons

Low wage , no one could survive on this as a single person paying rent. Staff at branches is so small and worked to the death and continually without leadership i.e. branch manager nonexistent. Turnover is extremely high. I wonder why? As our CEO pockets 20,000,000+ per year, the employees at the branches make pennies please give us a Living Wage Charlie. We are good kind hard-working people who work at these branches, and are just trying to help our customers and our community

Pros

The culture is wonderful compared to other banks I have worked at. The culture is slowly changing to align with other banks but even with that it is the bank I have enjoyed the most in 20 years in the industry

Cons

Spread out a lot and certain locations are closing or bound to close down depending on the area of bank. To be safe seek a role in one of the larger hubs like Charlotte.

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
