A lot of the periphery details are great but the main parts of a job, the daily work and my manager, are huge negatives. I cannot wait to leave my current team and when I go, our team will have had an 80% turnover this year alone. I think that says plenty.

Disappointing but tolerable. I interviewed here based on the company winning best places to work but everyone I meet here is upset with FMB.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Valuing development of staff would be nice.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Overall get along with the staff
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Making sure that the aims of leadership is actually practiced through management.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Just a lack of training, development, and communication makes everything a struggle.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We work as a team and members are excited by each other's success.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication is absurd for a company this size (Apple Pay not being paid out for example)
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication which includes listening. Leadership is also just never visible if you don't work in Indy or Muncie.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Benefits are good to great but the base pay is just not competitive and does not adequately compensate for inflation.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Management is out of touch of day-to-day operations. Management does not communicate changes. No clear vision. Everything is spread via rumors.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I definitely feel undervalued. Its not just compensation its being asked questions and listened to. Its having executive management spend time with us.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We have people that I genuinely like throughout the company. FMB has mostly staff that I get along with and seem like decent people.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I can go to a competitor bank and make 20% more. Starting to look outside bank at other opportunities as FMB does not seem interested in internal development.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The role, listed as an analyst, is anything but. I do data entry. My opinions do not matter. The company puts zero effort in developing analysis. All of the focus in on data entry.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I do not like my manager. Nothing is good enough. Everything is negative. If I work faster I just get more assignments. If I take my time to get details right, I'm too slow. I cannot remember the last time my manager said anything nice to me or my co-workers. It's always a focus on our faults.
