Pros

Given the size of the company you truly get to take on functions outside of your own if you choose to do so. Plenty of work to go around and learn about the different aspects of the business. One of the best performing community banks in the state.

Cons

Employee recruitment and retention is a disaster. In the time that I worked there where the average employee count was around 13 or so, there was one person fired, another quit, another was fired, yet another was fired, and one more quit. At the time of my departure at least two additional employees were contemplating their exit. It is often said that employees should be treated fairly and not equally. At ACB neither was true. Expectations of certain employees were lax due to their age or incompetency and not of others. Company vision and direction was constantly changing. Employees were frustrated due to the inconsistencies in company policies .

Austin Capital Bank Response

Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing that we are one of the best performing community banks in the state, we are truly proud of it! You were a part of our success and we sincerely thank you for that. It looks like you departed quite some time ago and were referring to a time when we were a small community bank with 12 employees. Your comment identifies one of the largest challenges of being an employer in Austin. Austin is an incredibly challenging market to identify, attract, and retain highly-qualified employees. Despite those hiring and retention challenges, today we have grown from just 12 employees to over 130 employees in 10 different states and we continue to grow rapidly. Upward mobility and advancement opportunities are key areas of focus for us. We implement practices that encourage our staff to learn and acquire new skills. We have Tuition Reimbursement Program for our current staff and always strive to promote individuals within our organization. We strongly believe that our future success is contingent upon home-grown talent. I would like to thank you for contributing to our growth in the past and wish that your time here had been more rewarding for you personally. Erik, President and CEO.

Pros

If you're a good ol' Texas resident soaked in "traditional" values and Tesla stock then you'll probably get along with these people

Cons

All of my other reviews were deleted because I was so honest, but my largest regret was signing an NDA, so I couldn't go after them when my employment ended. The founder sets people up to fail, and the rest of the exec team just does whatever he says to keep their jobs.
