My Manager was inexperienced, as it was her first supervisory role and lacked skills needed to be a good leader. I noticed and confirmed with coworkers who’d been with the company for a while that they do not promote from within often times. This lowers the morale of the employees and leads to higher turnover or plain and simple, employees who stay but hate their job. I’ve been in banking and treasury for seven years and went into this role to gain additional skills that would aid in my career. Needless to say the growth opportunities were not there, at least not for me and the direction I’m looking to take my career. 

The building also needs an overhaul. The back office area has dated/dingy carpet, which makes for a stuffy work space. The cleaning crew come in a couple times a week, however the restrooms and work space do not get the attention needed to make for a pleasant work environment. There’s unused space which serves as storage areas that should not be in plain sight. It makes for a cluttered work space. 

Overall, this was not a good fit for me and I ultimately made the decision to leave which turned out to be the best decision I could’ve made for my career. Getting out of this environment opened me up to the bigger opportunities that will allow me to advance in my career.

At The State Bank of Texas you do have the oppotunity to advance, if you are in with the right people.  I learned a lot by moving up the banking ladder from teller to lending assistant to the Executive VP in 7 years.  There are problems with management and their unrealistic expectations to get all things done in an 8 hour work day.  The hardest part of the job is maintaining a good relationship with management and getting all things done in a timley manner according to their standards - no matter how hard you try to complete tasks given to you, there is always someone micro managing you time.  You are also required to take 2 weeks of vacation at one time.  The most enjoyable part of the job is the family feel... With that said, there are people in management who do not have famalies and are not as understanding when family emergencies come up.

One of my coworkers would interrupt me with my customer when I was servicing them and make rude comments to me in front of them and others. My supervisor would not handle that behavior and blamed me for it. I loved working with money and my customers. I was always great with my customers, no matter what else my have been going on in the background. It was very hard to stay there but I thought that I was put there for a reason, so I stuck it out.

The location was good for me, I would let any difficulties by pass just to keep the job.  The job for me was a very day to day process of  remembering to see very customer as today was the first time I services theirs needs and do them as fast and friendly. Always ask them if there’s any other thing you can help them with. 

Working for a smaller bank has its privileges, and this bank offers a bunch!! It's a very small bank with two locations, Houston and Stafford, run by a husband and wife team. They offer excellent benefits and have an open door policy. It's a very laid back, but professional environment. You can learn a lot about the entire banking process, if you want.

The only down side to being employed by them, is no room for advancement.

In a typical month I would work an extra 35hrs and expectation was to work more. It was terrible, a person got fired for asking a Saturday for his anniversary. The job was simple but it was made difficult by management. They fired a lady for not being able to come in or her day off because she couldn't get a sitter at last minute. Needles to say those positions including mine are still vacant.

I worked for this Bank very sincerely and was very good at what ever I did there for 12 years.

Hardest Part of this job was I was very attached to my work never got chance to step out for lunch or any personal things I could in my personal time.
Most enjoyable part of this work was I loved my job and my customers the most that kept me going so well.

Our work days are very productive. The employees intend to get all work done in a correct way. The management is great. All co-workers are very helpful and very friendly. The enjoyable part of the job is working together with everybody to get all work done and we have a family enviroment. We are also very friendly to our customers.

It was a good place to work. It never achieved it goals in the SBA lending area or to bring in Demand Deposit Accounts. The FDIC closed the bank in 2009.

Out of my previous employment, I enjoyed working with State Bank of Texas the most. Very friendly environment, every one was willing to help one another no matter the circumstances. Management is always eager to assist you.
