Pros

Flat organization so changes can happen swiftly. Engaged team members. Company is heavily involved in the community. A large part of the culture deals with educating members to make informed decisions with their Financial Advisors.

Cons

Limited opportunity for advancement. Wealth management is a profitable line of business but us second place to lending.

Pros

The executive leadership in place at this company during my tenure (until 2013), was the worst I've ever experienced. Poor decision-making, literally copying what our competitors did, and other missteps by the CEO crippled the company.

Cons

Copying our competitors, the CEO had no leadership skills
