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.
I love FMB. I just want to be valued/recognized too.
Their willingness to help one another.
The region really gets along.
The people I work with.
I love what I do and truly enjoy my work.
My coworkers and winning deals - making a happy customer.
They are great people and do their best to be available when needed.
They take the time to keep us informed via meetings like CMT, EMT and SMT.
I like that despite the size of our Bank, the leadership team is available and responsive.
They are available. Any person at the bank could pick up the phone and talk to any one of them.
We all help one another across the entire footprint. You can always find someone to help you. FMB's focus on DEI.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
