Seriously the best place I have worked. I have high hopes
What are some of the best things about your team?
We try to be sure everyone succeeds not just ourselves.
What makes you most happy at work?
Being able to help customers in need. Usually educating them in our products or banking safety.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They have found small ways to recognize hard work. Even when you don't get the wanted results you worked hard and they notice.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
We are very inclusive the company it's self takes pride in the diverse culture of the world around them with out turning it political.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
This year's incentive adjustment made it so that some of the best employees won't get a payout. That discourages the rest who are striving to be better and like them. Why reach for the sky when you are getting chopped down at the roots.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
My manager builds us to be the best we can be. There is time for fun and time for business. They keep that balance well. I appreciate how the company as a whole strives to be diverse and inclusive. Looks for opportunities to build a whole world view.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We work well collectively. We try to help each other the best we can. We strive not to inconvenience each other as well as offer to take things from each other's plates when possible. We want all of us to hit goals together because when we do we are stronger for it,
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Document company decisions comprehensively. Tell us why we are changing, what other options were and why the final decision was made. We are people not sheep. Also, CCSMs need to encourage their teams and not be on grand lender lists when employees at same branch are not hitting goals because of it.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I'm not sure it's anything the company can change directly, but insurance always seems to want to much to cover so little. I also wish our pay was more comparable to other banks. I know people doing my same job for 2-5 dollars more an hour, But I like the hours and stability of here.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Banks are not what they were adapt, move on. We want to be a big bank, but a good portion of employees believe in the more personal aspect of smaller banks and is why we stay at this job. We waited too long for updates. Maybe if the CEO didn't make close to 2million a year, we'd be better.
