Our blended learning approach includes experiential, hands-on learning where you are able to work alongside your fellow team members to perform meaningful work.

Other customer contact may include collecting information needed by the lender, credit analyst team, or attorneys, making calls to new prospects, and contacting clients about sensitive matters, including overdrafts and past due payments.
• You're Part of a Team - You are a member of the Commercial team which includes the Regional President, Commercial Lenders and Sales Assistants, and Private Bankers. You will have extensive interaction with attorneys, the credit department, loan operations, branches and other areas of the company on a daily basis. You have opportunities to work with other areas within banking, wealth management and insurance, as you cross sale opportunities for other products and services that will meet the customer’s needs.  You also assist other business partners, including but not limited mortgage lenders.  This role offers amazing insight into the world of banking, in the commercial area and beyond.
• And you have to be able to juggle - Multiple and conflicting priorities will come up under specific time constraints. In concert with your leader and other team members, you have to be quick to act when issues arise.
