Senior Vice President / Product Management (Former Employee) – Denver, CO – June 27, 2018
When my bank, Home State Bank, was purchased by Guarantee Bank, most of my fellow senior managers were promptly asked to leave. I was able to stay on for about 16 months in order to oversee several conversion-related projects. Once those projects were completed, my position was eliminated. While Guaranty Bank gave me adequate autonomy to successfully complete those projects, I don't believe I was given a fair opportunity to integrate into the bank's senior leadership. Guaranty Bank has since been sold to another regional holding company.

Guaranty Bank is a great company. My only con for them is the lack of formal training. That being said I had made a lot of friends, via the phone, that helped me to learn how to do my job correctly
Executive Vice President (Current Employee) – Denver, CO – May 2, 2018
Guaranty Bank is a very strong and well managed large community bank. The bank nearly went out of business during the great recession, but under new management it has grown into a strong and diversified company that will likely better withstand the next recession.
Pros
good management with acceptable home-woklife balance
Cons
may be too small to remain independent in the long run

Doesn't pay competitively with other banks in the area. Should be more appreciative of their employees and pay them better. Have great managers and love the family atmosphere though.
Data Processing/Dispatch Clerk 11 (Former Employee) – Denver, CO – April 7, 2018
I was hired with no experience, none. The management and people there trained me and nurtured my abilities to eventually become the best at what I did there. Data entry, processing on an NDP1600, working the window with the couriers were great experiences for me. I was laid off after the work was outsourced.
they are out of business now so a review of the company is not needed When I did work for them they gave me a lot of training in the financial and bankruptcy world.
FSR (Former Employee) – Englewood, CO – February 3, 2018
Management at the Englewood branch is very poor and lazy. I could no longer work there because of the horrible attitude and Ridiculous lack of knowledge.

Guarantee bank and trust was a nice work environment with kind people. It was enjoyable to help customers and make them happy. If they were unhappy I would try my best to make them happy.
VP-BSA Officer (Current Employee) – Denver, CO – August 11, 2017
I would rather not provide a review. I am in a unique position and do not work with external customers. I have enjoyed my time with the bank but I am looking to advance my career and that is not possible currently.
Teller (Former Employee) – Vicksburg, MS – July 27, 2017
No one tries to help you improve in any area needed and there is really no room for advancement/growth.The management was horrible. Things were never clearly communicated.
Operational Specialist (Former Employee) – Belzoni, MS – May 17, 2017
I had a great time working at Guaranty. The people that were in my department were great and I learned a lot about banking policies as well as other rules and regulations that went along with banking.
Loan Documentation Specialist (Former Employee) – Denver, CO – May 7, 2017
Worked in loan department, it was great at first, after management changed the department manager, moral fell and people started leaving. After bank merger, it wasn't the same anymore.
