Orrstown Bank

This company is having to adjust to the new compliance issues and cleaning up their portfolio to meet new government requirements. They provide good start up training and are expanding in this area.  
Depending on the department you are in, additional training was available.  At the time I was there, the Senior Vice President of Operations was instrumental in getting needed equipement, supplies and anything else that you may need.  I believe she was fighting an up hill battle against the established executive management.  She really valued she employees and made that know to you.  Something I highly value that in management.   

I was very fortunate to have come at the time of rebuilding in the Mortgage lending department.  A new mortgage system was installed and I had the ability to help set up the system and make sure that all necessary closing issues were in place and functioned properly.  I helped establish closing procedures, checklists, training material for the training department. The deparment manager is a highly knowledgeable and I learned a lot from her.  However, I felt that she sometimes created a stressful environment and did show favorites which created a difficult situation on occassion.

I have had nothing but praises about my work with Orrstown Bank. I started at the bottom and worked my way up from taking phone calls to managing other services. I am continually asked to fill in for higher-ups or assist coworkers as well as to take on additional tasks. However the raises and promotion does not seem to reflect this. After requesting a re-evaluation nothing was done. It's unfortunate because the business itself is good but it seems they try to take advantage of employees worth ethic as much as possible. I'm not sure where this is coming from as you would think a bank would have enough money to pay their employees more. No one wants to take more responsibility when their wage does not reflect it. Where do you draw the line when you're more than capable of succeeding with what they have given you and even more yet the compensation does not compare? I have found there is plenty of appreciation when it comes to doing your job but no matter how much you're told how well you do, it doesn't matter if the money isn't reflecting it. If you are looking for a starter job I would recommend this company. However if you are looking for valid raises or promotions you may want to look elsewhere.

Orrstown Bank is pushing hard to be one of the most prolific and engaging organizations to work within – not only in the tri-state, but across the Banking sector. From Day One at the bank you will be surrounded by smart folks, who have a desire to continuously improve the place and serve the Bank’s customers. 

From video collaboration units across the Bank’s offices, to new age rooms, and open floor seating – it is a place that I enjoy working. Most importantly, the team takes my input, values my projects and ideas and allows me to run autonomously. Banking is generally a very competitive business – and Orrstown won’t apologize for its effort to win. Be prepared for this culture – but you will likely learn a tremendous amount and be rewarded for your efforts.

Orrstown Bank is poised for significant growth in 2015 and beyond. The revamped senior management team, an aggressive technology focused drive and the familial Community bank feel is just the perfect balance for any one who is either looking for an exciting role to grow into or someone who would like to work for a company full of energy yet full of that 'personal touch' experience that can only be found in community organizations.

Complete fun to be here. Every day you will learn something new. The management team is very supportive and appreciates hunger for knowledge and drive for perfection.

It is not for you if you need a 9-5 bank job. This bank is growing and needs people who are excited with growth and the challenges it bring to the workforce.

From the beginning, Orrstown has been a great place to work. The culture for employees is wonderful - they make everyone feel valued and have multiple celebrations annually for employees. Orrstown is heavily invested in the community, and it feels so much more personal than working for a large organization. The bank also invests in its employees and offers them opportunities to grow within the organization. The bank is also very flexible and accommodating to employees, even offering paid parental leave. The organization is very focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion, which has been so important for the culture - they make everyone feel welcome. If you want to grow, and make it known, you will have a strong future at Orrstown.

New programming that half the associates aren't trained on.
New sales goals and expectations
Very expensive health insurance
Work 6 days every other week
Very very old machinery that usually doesn't work
Not enough training. Very much just thrown into the job, then when you call for help, the experienced employees are operating on the program from the 80s that I wasn't trained on. This looks terrible to the customers when we're calling for help every 15mins because we were never shown how to do what the customer needs.

Co-workers are great! But everyone leading the company is doing too much at once and scaring off employees.

I'm working at Orrstown Bank as a Sys Admin part-time while getting my MBA. The culture is relaxed, the people are friendly, and I would recommend working here to anybody. It was an excellent job for a young IT professional to gain experience while finishing his degree. I had never pictured myself working for a bank, but after working at Orrstown I would consider it again. They really do stick to their mission of having large, corporate bank services with a small-town bank atmosphere. That's apparent to the customers and the employees.

The mid level and senior level retail management in poor.  Do not except your manager to provide you with feedback.  If you try to reach out to one of your superiors with a question, whether by email or phone call, they will not even bother responding to you.  When it come time for your annual review do not expect to have a one on one meeting or receive any constructive feedback, they will simply send you your review to go over by yourself and accept.  It is very clicky.  If you are not best friends with senior management don't expect them to have your back.

Called on new clients, tried to get new clients into bank that already had relationships with local banks.  Orrstown didn't have any brnach representation in the East shore area at all.  No branches in Harrisburg or Hershey Area.

Other lenders were easy to work with.  Hardest part : creating awareness of Orrstown Bank, some clients didn't hear of it, had a reputation with the federal consent order, that was only recently lifted.

There is no communication, the merger was so messy it's not funny, no one knows what they're doing. One branch does things one way & another branch does it differently. No one is on the same page. Training is laughable. You don't feel like you are valued by the company. It's just like you are another body to fill a spot. Before the merger I loved my job! I was on the Peoplesbank side of the merger. I loved my coworkers, my clients were absolutely amazing. But when Orrstown took over that all changed.
