Pros
Hosts food trucks, free swag. CEO is a great person and doesn't seem to see the toxicity that he has employed. He is a kind and respectful.
Cons
My experience at Core Bank was highly disappointing, and I cannot in good conscience recommend it as a workplace. The company culture is deeply flawed, with micromanagement being not just prevalent but actively encouraged. Over the past year, there were significant layoffs, including just weeks before Christmas in 2023, without any severance offered—displaying a complete lack of regard for the employees and their families.
The environment is extremely cliquey, with HR participating in workplace gossip and demonstrating inappropriate favoritism due to close relationships with senior management. This creates an atmosphere where favoritism, double standards, and unethical conduct are widespread.
There is a disturbing pattern of targeting employees who think independently, with the company going so far as to undermine their mental health if they do not conform to the so-called “value-based philosophy.” I also witnessed employees with learning disabilities being mistreated, and crucial regulations being ignored due to short staffing.
Work-life balance is non-existent. Employees are often forced to work long hours without proper breaks, while management enjoys lengthy vacations. The limited options for remote work and the expectation to work under unsafe conditions, such as during severe weather, further exacerbate the negative environment.
Overall, this is a toxic workplace that drives good employees away, and I fear for the future of the company if these practices continue. I would advise anyone considering a position here to think carefully and look elsewhere.
