Pros

Managers are given the autonomy to develop the branch’s book of business either through internal leads and/or outside business development. The product offerings, specifically in the money market, CD, and home equity line if credit space are outstanding. Rates for these programs are far superior to what you will find at larger banks and even most credit unions.

Cons

Lack of market presence and advertising within the San Francisco Bay Area makes selling their products extremely challenging. The aggressive sales culture and relatively low pay makes employee retention difficult.
