Svantaggi
Pay and benefits are much less appealing compared to other institutions. Work outside of business hours is expected, and, in many cases, not compensated. Nepotism and age discrimination are rampant. This in turn is detrimental to the organization. The bank's own internal employee surveys consistently rate "feeling valued" as an extremely low point. There is an easy fix for that and it is not referring to staff as "family." Kitsap Bank has been acquired by Heritage Bank and I can only hope that Heritage treats and values their employees far better than Kitsap ever has.
