I do love FMB. Truly.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
The culture and structure allow us to serve the markets we work in - in a way that feels like a small community bank - with the power and solid financial strength of such a well-run bank. I love that connectivity spans across all segments and all levels - even up to the exec team.

What do you like best about the leadership team?
They are available. Any person at the bank could pick up the phone and talk to any one of them.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
We all help one another across the entire footprint. You can always find someone to help you. FMB's focus on DEI.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Their accessibility - and the fact that we could all pick up the pone and have a conversation with any of them if we needed to.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Many are underpaid and under appreciated. RM bonus comp isn't competitive in the market. Hard to hire and to build bench strength. Out of touch.
What are some of the best things about your team?
So many are friendly and willing to work as a team. That is a huge part of the culture here at FMB. We all chip in and help one another.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
voluntary retirement plan occurred and we are all asked to take on more (understandably), but the work is added on with no recognition - no more $$ and not even a thank you.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I see others in lesser roles at competitive banks in the area making the same if not more than I do. Incentive comp also isn't comparable to our competitors (from an RM perspective).
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The people - they make all the difference. Another is the structure. The way we have the regional teams structured really gives us a strong presence in each market - and helps foster a stronger sense of connectiveness to FMB as a whole.
