Pros

A community bank that does want to help customers. Some people at the bank are nice and helpful. Full time is 37.5 hrs a week.

Cons

It is a step back in time, training is unorganized, HR has not progressed and EVPs give poor direction and communication. HR still separates out vacation and paid time off and you have to let them know what you need paid time off for, there is no privacy if you need personal time. They offer a FSA (can not roll over unused funds and have to provide a receipt for everything and fill out a paper form) instead of a HSA that you can roll over year after year. The bank still uses paper instead of technology as if they are still in 1990, even the IT department requires a signed form for any change requests. With the recent hire of the new EVP of retail, we have seen goals increase and have more sales pressure with little in return. She acts nice but has a reputation for blowing up and losing her temper. I have never experienced this myself but this is the low key talk among the branches and managers based on discussions overheard by people who work directly for her. Another EVP has been heard telling department managers that Wesbanco is getting ready to lay-off 150 employees, and showed little regard for the effect this could have on those employees by gossiping about it to others. Wesbanco pays dramatically less then other financial institutions and has a poor if any bonus structure. The bank appears to have a lack of consistency and has vertically no diversity.

Pros

The hours are decent and paid time off is fair

Cons

This organization is no different than every other toxic culture organization in existence. Slow to no change, growth, and all other necessary pivots that thankfully lead to environments like this, and ones that came before, extinct. The list of cons are so plentiful, however worth the time to read. C-level “leaders” are at best, typical. Making ignorant decisions and implementing them with little if any insight, feedback, or thought process. As if that’s not bad enough, celebrating being “distinct” while roasting marshmallows on the dumpster fires inevitably created. About the only intelligent thing they do, is pay the puppets below them handsomely enough to drink the toxic sludge they produce, leaving most believing their parrots are in charge when in reality, decision making is left to a bunch ripe, Caucasian, men who probably should’ve retired years ago. Speaking of puppets, the alarming amount of blatant misogyny and harassment from the majority of them is like nothing I’ve ever witnessed. It’s only a matter of time before it is surfaced and the ball drops. Local “leadership” have little to no control over anything, nor would they bother to walk across the street, let alone, grapple for the individuals who keep them employed and in many occasions, appear as if they actually lead. They are cowards pretending to be hero’s, although my toddlers school plays produce more noteworthy acting. At least their cowardice ways and inability to produce humanity is surface level; no mistaking that. Many of the markets and regions within them are understaffed and the employees keeping all things afloat have not seen anything more than merit increases in years. That includes through the pandemic, the ppp nightmare, and the calamitous conversion. No consideration or bonus money, or additional paid time, nothing. While other companies were rewarding frontline workers handsomely, not one sacrifice was made by upper management to show gratitude. Perhaps I should have prefaced that by noting a few record setting years for lending, and the bonus money to the organization from the federal government. Before writing this review I read through a few others that mentioned Human Resources, which at the local level is obscure if not completely void. One can only assume it’s similar in hq. The mentions about old branches and equipment, all I would go as far as to say kind, descriptions.
