Pros

A strong focus on continuous improvement. Biweekly company meetings with the CEO. A small‑town feel where everyone knows one another. Friendly staff and a culture that allows employees to speak openly without fear of retaliation. My department feels like a family.

Cons

Management often asks for feedback but ultimately makes decisions without incorporating employee input. Frequent meetings about change without meaningful follow‑through. Repeated executive management turnover, with lessons from the past not fully applied. Slow updates to processes and procedures.

Pros

A pretty good community bank

Cons

Inexperienced management and team leads. Leaders are insecure and immature and feel threatened by competent, hard working employees. Management & leads have zero respect for employees and slander them instead of helping build a healthy & strong team.
