My experience at FMB has been great from the start! They take care of me and are really friendly. I was completely new to banking, and it has been like nothing I expected, but throughout my time here, it's always felt like I have support, someone in my corner.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

I've had a lot of wonderful days and some really painful days. I choose to remember all the wonderful times as I'm grateful for all that FMB has put into me and that I've forwarded onto the customers. I think I've outgrown where I am and that's the growing pains.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I feel like they do care about each of us.

What makes you most happy at work?

Getting food, getting money. Appreciation week. The fun times we have together

What is the best part about your compensation package?

I don't have the benefits full package. I just pick out what I need for the year.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I'm not a number in the system. I know they're busy, but if there was an issue I would be a priority.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

Their response. I know they have a million things going on, but they do try to get with us and make everybody under them priority.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

We work well enough together. It just feels like everything needs to be debated before any decision is made. And there's a lot of misunderstandings.

What are some of the best things about your team?

We're a family. We like to have fun, but still crush our goals. There's no tension or quarreling. Everyone pitches in. and does what their best at.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

I think the intention for everything good and for everyone to grow and prosper is there. It's just the execution that falls short a lot and that is the hard part.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Everyone is pretty welcoming. Very few people will make you feel stupid for asking answers to questions you don't know. Most will walk you through how to do something new correctly instead.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Everyone tends to stay busy, so no matter what is going on, we just keep working through it to finish the day. But it doesn't solve anything at the end of the day.

What makes you most happy at work?

My clients. I've been with the company for years and know a lot of them by name. I enjoy seeing them and just interacting with them. And solving problems. Making things that were difficult or hard into finished and done.

What are some of the best things about your team?

They are beautiful people and there's a lot of good and great in them. I don't feel like there's time in the day to properly relate to them and they're pretty long-winded. So connecting with them through the day and getting goals met is not easily defined.

What makes you most happy at work?

What makes me happy is contributing where I can to make others' lives better and easier. It can be a lot, but I know my skills are needed to help everyone make it through the day. I like just doing everything I can, then looking back and see what was accomplished.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I feel like we are asked to wear a lot of different hats, which isn't so much the issue; more it gets confusing on who is supposed to focus on what when we get overly busy. I don't feel like there's a good execution plan in place on how to handle those times

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I feel like it's necessary to do work outside of our job description to have the team successful on a regular basis. But we're not really compensated for the amount of work we take on to help everyone prosper. Teally don't feel seen or appreciated from higher ups. Just feel like a gear in the system

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

With the FMB company, I like our theme. We're here to help everyone prosper. For the most part, FMB employees take that and use not only for our clients but with each other. How can I help you prosper in the work you're doing? Make your work easier? That's how I feel like a lot of the interaction is

What are some of the best things about your team?

It's a mixed yes and no answer to "Do you look forward to interacting with your coworkers?" Half I know have my back and I would do whatever they needed for them. The other half, I never know if they'll be in a bad mood or not and my trust has been broken with them where I'm wary of them.
