Pros

Good "image" in Wichita, brand is notable, history is notable. That is all a facade, however,

Cons

The HR department is horrendous. No policies which make any sense. Silly rules. Incredibly outdated thoughts, processes and attitudes. No remote work? Ok, fine and everyone knows that but even in 1980, people had emergencies and "life". Long tenured employees have so much vacation they can just "put in" for PTO after the fact, if you are newer and you have something come up then you will be sent into a maze of absolute insanity with zero policy on what is "allowed" so it is just made up. It also ridiculous the way long tenured people throw the whole "I will just talk to Charlie" nonsense around. Never met Charlie or his kid, but they would both be embarrassed if they knew what very low skilled, long tenured "leaders" are tossing their names around in the name of doing. It was pathetic. I am embarrassed for the Chandler family and their legacy with the way they are allowing people to be treated. You need to dig into your HR team. I would never recommend anyone work at or do business with Intrust Bank, ever. And I am a lifelong Wichita resident with many connections in town.

We’re disappointed your employment experience with us was less than hoped for, but we do take feedback like yours seriously and appreciate hearing from both current and former employees about their concerns. We review our benefits for their competitiveness and connection to employee needs regularly, and we are grateful to offer three weeks of paid vacation and one week of paid sick time upon initial hire. These and other benefits continue to increase generously with additional years of employment service. We also recognize that unexpected personal needs do occur, so we work with supervisors and employees individually to address their unique situations with flexibility. Being a community-based bank, we have a longstanding commitment to be available to our customers in a personal manner. We’re sorry this approach didn’t meet your preference for remote working. We also invest substantially each year to refresh and maintain our facilities, including our historic downtown Wichita campus and each of our community banking centers. Our leadership team, including Human Resources is committed to maintaining a clear, consistent, and competitive workplace in support of all employees. We are proud of our deep roots in Wichita and our ongoing investments in both our people and the community. Feedback like this helps inform where we can improve, and we encourage the sharing of concerns so they can be addressed directly and constructively.

Pros

Company has some extremely talented employees and some extremely compassionate and knowledgeable leaders. Benefits were good. Enjoyed work from home opportunities when available (since revoked). A lot of development opportunities through training programs.

Cons

There is a disconnect within many departments from the overall company vision and values. Some long-term leaders treat their employees very poorly but continue to get promoted and stay in their roles despite deficiencies in their leadership. HR and executive leadership have been made aware of abusive behaviors of one female leader, but she remains in her role. There is an entire division of leaders who are disrespectful to their peers and especially to anyone deemed below them. Not enough value is placed on the employees who directly deal with customers. The company touts growth opportunities, but that is mostly for banking center employees moving up at the bank or moving into operational roles. Beyond that, there is not a lot of growth, especially outside of banking operations, and if you are looking to expand your role to increase your salary. They tend to take advantage of employees who work hard and do more by not paying adequately for the expansion. There is a lack of collaboration around strategic vision and objectives. They say the right things about who they are and what they do, but it's not put into practice for their employees, which makes it really hard to extend those values to customers.
