Massive turnover makes sure that new employees are always needing training while tenured staff is stressed out picking up the slack

they are new to banking and it is nice to see them grow with time. they are also impressionable and quick to adapt.

my immediate manager and their manager is great, but I do not know much about anyone above that so I feel indifferent towards upper leadership.

It would be positive if the company cared about the customers in the communities it has versus chasing a stock price and if employees were more than a number.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
as a michigan employee it is so nice to close at 430. hours offer great worklife balance. its so nice to drive by my old bank jobs on my way home and see they are still working and i'm free!
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
i love that we close at 430 m-th, and 12 on Saturdays. work life balance is extremely important to me because my family is important to me. I love driving by our competitors that are still open on my way home.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
inflation has increased significantly and FMB has not acknowledged this. raise percentages are lower this year and things are more expensive than ever. my raise for exceeding expectations wont even cover the cost of the increase of my health insurance- which doesn't cover much as it is
What is the best part about your compensation package?
certainly not the health benefits. they are very expensive, and although I pay for the plus plan the deductible is too high even with the HSA contribution from FMB. benefits are worse than other companies I've worked for and nothing is too competitive or sets apart from others.
