Pros

Some great people there to work with as long as they were not management.

Cons

Poor management, no support from direct managers, issues critical to performing your job are withheld until the last minute. Outdated processes and procedures. IT department had no sense of urgency when software applications went down. Business side had no set process for testing, they just threw it into production and hoped it worked. Not an environment where you can be successful and unnecessarily stressful if they had have proper procedures in place.

Pros

Some good folks to work with. Lots of volunteer opportunities and time allotted to volunteer.

Cons

Leadership recently pushing for return to office. Also “strongly urging” (forced) all employees to have a bank account here and told if you didn’t, that you would not be considered for future banking officer consideration. Senior leadership seems out of touch with lower lever staff. Often discussing their vacations, boats, etc when these are things some staff are not able to afford with current salary.
