I've been here a long time so obviously I like it here.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

I've been here a long time and have always felt pride in my company and job. I still love my job and co-workers, but the DEI and ERG stuff and the closing of small town branches really bothers me. That stuff makes it hard to feel pride in the company.

What makes you most happy at work?

I enjoy the interaction with my co-workers.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

We are a profitable company.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

I like the retirement matching.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I like that the company still seems to be profitable.

What makes you most happy at work?

I enjoy my co-workers and most of what I do.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

I find the retirement match to be generous compared to other companies.

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

I like the hybrid schedule of being able to work from home.

What are some of the best things about your team?

I think we are a good team who has been together for quite some time.

What are some of the best things about your team?

We are a tight-knit group who actually cares about each other on a personal level.

What are some of the best things about your team?

We are a tight knit group, like a family. We care about each other as people.

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

Everyone wants more pay. It just isn't keeping up with inflation. And I know we'll never get back there again, but I missed the Insurance we had before HSAs.

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

I remember when we were still "We are First Merchants" before all the ERGs, and there are enough of those still here at the company that keeps the company together and running.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

I think we need to stop it with the DEI and ERGs. I think they disrupt the cohesion of the company and instead of unifying us they silo us into compartments. A lot of people are left out. Also, I think closing the small town branches is a huge mistake that will come back to bite us.
