First State Bank Employer Reviews

As a one person HR department with numerous locations most daily contact was via e-mail or phone with managers and employees. Enjoyed the opportunity to work with Senior management in aiding with staffing and training issues.

I enjoyed everything about my job and the people I worked with.

when I quit.
meeting and serving the customers we had.

Greet customers, processed customers transactions completely and accurately, answered phones, balanced end of day paperwork with data processors, counted and verified money in my teller drawer, answered phones and provided customer service. Management and co-workers there were a great bunch of people and great to work for. The most enjoyable part of – more... the job was being able to go to work and seeing and waiting on the customers and being able to talk with them – less

The benefits were great, but management was horrible. I was laid off with no explanation. Found out later they wanted to hire someone else and since I was on the bottom of the totem pole I was let go. I was also paid my medical insurance for 6 months. ( I never heard of doing this before) Makes me wonder if they were afraid of a law suit.

A day with First Stae Bank is the usual. Same things are done everyday. It has tought me a lot about customer service, finiacial knowledge, and computer skills.

Management is good and interesting people to work with. Felt comfortable around employees. However; full time job and full time school was a struggle.

Enjoyed working with everyone. Everyone was a team player, knew what needed to be done to get the job done and the customers taken care of.

Very much a company centered around positivity, family, and stellar customer service.

A typical day at work included opening and/or closing bank, taking care of my customers banking needs. What I learned was that no job last forever, and it is. The management was fine until we got a new CEO, and were lied to when we all asked if we were going to have to close branches, and if we would still have jobs. The hardest part of the job was – more... working March to June knowing our happy little family (co workers and our customers) at our Terrell branch would be broken up. Most enjoyable part of my job was working with great co workers, and having awesome customers. – less

I love job what I do, Would love to learn other things.. I get along well with co-coworkers, Also Im hard of hearing and cant use the phone.

Typical community bank, overall good people to work with. Slow paced environment. Not enough work to do.

First State Bank was a great starting experience for me to see what working in IT is like in a real-world envirnment. In a typical day in the office I would answer any calls that would come to the help desk, work on projects such as upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7, upgrading each computer's BIOS, and making images of computers and then deploying – more... them. All of the above I have learned from working at First State Bank and much more. I learned to have great communication skills with customers and employees and how to do many other tasks including: updating print drivers, upgrading Microsoft Office, wiping hard drives, and putting operating systems on PC's. My co-workers were great and we worked very well together to get the important tasks done. The hardest part of the job would had to of been the projects put upon us with a deadline. The most enjoyable part of the job was just working together with the team and solving our banks problems no matter what obstacle got in our way. Overall, I had a great experience with First State Bank and I can't thank them enough for all the knowlege I have gained from my experience there. – less

On a typical day, I would open the bank, open the cash vault, pull daily reports and begin the daily cash audit. When the lobby opens, I handled any customer or teller issues. When lobby closed, balanced drawer and closed cash vault. My people skills have improved the past seven years. I managed the schedules of seven other people. I had great co-workers. – more... We were like a family. The hardest part of the job was auditing all the other tellers. The most enjoyable part of the job was the people. – less

I love my job and my coworkers. We all have a very nice rhythm and get along very well.

This was a huge learning experience with me. I had never been around that kind of money in my life. It was amazing to see the amount of money businesses made in that area as well as the kinds of people you will meet. I also learned alot about the differnt kinds of banking their was not just savings and checking and loans.
