Nevada State Bank

I've worked for Nevada State Bank and Zionsbancorp for over 5 years. I thoroughly believe in the company, and believe they'll continue to grow. I've been given lots of opportunity through the company, but they do not value formalized education, strong work ethic, or diversity in their employees. 

The corporation is very conservative, and at times an unwelcome environment for those who don't fit their mold. The pay and benefits with Zionsbancorp are not competitive to the rest of the industry. Banks smaller and larger pay better, have better benefits, and promote internally more extensively in my opinion. I've watched many external applicants be hired over internal applicants who were more qualified to step into the position. I believe this is due to an unwillingness to let people skip a position title in their career path, and being able to keep employees working beyond their job description at a lower pay grade. 

With those considerations, I believe Zionsbancorp to be a strong work environment, where individuals can gain skills to be a competitive applicant for other companies if they are not valued at Zionsbancorp. If you stick with the company, aggressively pursue a career path, and network well internally there can be amazing opportunity.

My typical day at work is that I go in and service the clients that come through our doors. I always put on a smile and very outgoing and up beat considering I am the first person they see when they walk through the door. Impression at first sight is everything. 
I learn to be able to work together as a team. With a team you will become everything. Without your team you will not achieve everything that needs to be.
I take part in the supervisor roll, by giving overrides and closing the branch. I help the employees balance their drawers and make sure they are where they need to be.
My co-workers are amazing. When you help each other it makes the day go by so much faster and their is less drama in your life.
The hardest thing about my job is trying to meet your goal when the cliental level is so slow. I am about over achieving my goal so I will find ways to make that happen, even if it is calling off my potential list.
The most enjoyable part of my job is that everyone gets along with everyone therefore it makes my job a whole lot easier. I also enjoy working with the customers because without them I would not have a position with the bank.

It wont matter if you give this company your blood sweat and tears, you will be sold up up the river in a heart beat. Management are not leaders they are adult bullies that pick on tellers and bankers (especially if they’re are young). HR will not help you with any complaints or problems, you will have to reach out to the third party HR system (ethics hotline) to get anything done. If you’re looking for a teller position you’ll be underpaid and over worked (13.50 and hour) if you’re lucky. You will be promised raises and promotions and never actually receive them. You can make more money with less stress and a cashier at Target. Unless you shove credit cards down clients throats you will regularly be written up. You will be written up for; speaking to clients to long, using clients phones to show them on line banking, smiling to much at clients(not smiling enough) if your dress or skirt is to body con, drinking water at your teller station, asking older tellers for help. YOU WILL BE WRITTEN UP FOR USING SICK TIME. Do not waste your time and mental health.

While there are some fantastic people who work here, none of them are managers.  Management has a tendency to promote/reward based on friendships rather than skill set, passing over qualified candidates based on personal relationships.  This often results in managers who are not able to effectively perform the role they are given.

The turnover at the middle management level creates a lack of clearly defined objectives and leaves many departments in a state of constant changes in direction in terms of policy/procedure.

While most departments function as "teams", there are several key players in certain teams that care more about their own well being over the success of the team's objectives.  As a result, these people will cast blame for any failures elsewhere, but will do so in a private setting without offering the other teammates the ability to address the issues.

The co-workers are great, you can't ask for a better group of people to work with. 

Too many different department managers, many of which are inexperienced and have no management experience prior to their current position. Communication is inconsistent from one manager to another and procedures seem to change from one project to the next. 

Department turnover is high. I worked there for 2 1/2 years and had 5 different direct managers. 

The work environment is very negative, no matter what you do, its wrong and will need to be completely revised. There is a lot of finger pointing as no one in management wants to take responsibility for mistakes, so the underwriter is ultimately held accountable. 

You have to have a tough skin and be able to shake off the negativity to last in the position. 

I was blessed to be a part of an amazing team of people serving their customers and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything! North Carson! woop woop!! The management at this branch was exceptional and a great place for growth and opportunity! I truly felt like when I went to work I was working with not just co workers, but friends! The management was encouraging and all of us grew a ton in new areas. The customers here at this branch were great! The training was thorough from the training department and the support in branch was great too. Working for NSB was great...everything from the pay, to paid vacation days, paid vacation (2 weeks per year automatically!), great benefits, and great interaction with people. I never thought I would enjoy banking as much as I did but this experience was awesome! If we ever move back to NV I would definitely go back to work for them!

A very fast paced setting, handling different customers daily. Managing wealthy and important clients and building rapport to have them trust me with their funds. I learned a lot about the banking business as well as money management and investing. I felt comfortable and welcomed by coworkers as well as management. I felt like part of a family more so than just coworkers. The hardest part would be training on different aspects such as starting new accounts, and trust funds. The most enjoyable part was handling the drive-thru and having regulars and building a relationship with them. Every day was different from the next and I looked forward to going into work.

This is the worst place you can ever work. The experienced teller they ask for is  Service staff and that was the worst experience. You get treated horribly in these branches as you have to do all the work while the branch employees sit around and do nothing . Alot of favoritism with mgt. horrible insurance policy! If you want your stress levels high then this is the place for you! VERY VERY HIGH staff turnaround because the pay is horrible and the people who are still with this bank are the ones who feel entitled coz they have been there forever! No one should work for this company.  You complain to HR about the managers and report on the ethics hotline and nothing gets done!!!

Interview was easy but management left a negative view on branch and I should have went with gut feeling of not pursuing this job. A couple hours after the interview, I had a job offer but the pay and benefits are not great. Everything including the policies and systems haven’t been updated since the 80s so it’s slow and tedious. Company emphasizes on self development which is great but I cannot support a company that charges fees for everything and haven’t reinvested back in the company to make the employees required processes easier. It’s a sales environment and you can only excel if you hit your sales goal. Overall I would never recommend working for this company.

I worked for Nevada State Bank for about 17 years in many different job functions.  I kept learning as much as possible along the way.  The bank made a shift to move into the sales culture which made it more stressful.  I hired employees and performed disciplinary action when needed.  I helped coach employees to meet their goals. I filled in on the teller line, new accounts, provided training materials for all changes that took effect and completed my daily routines with the operations aspects.
