“I always reflect on when I first came to The State Bank and remember how well I was treated through the onboarding process. I had never before been treated with such care and consideration by an employer and it really set the tone for how I would feel about The State Bank moving forward.”
—Tess Trent
“I waited on a customer that I know very well, and at the end of our conversation, I said, "See you later Dude, you have a great day!" My co-worker looked at me and asked, "Did you just call her dude?" I said yes, that is her nickname, and everyone calls her Dude. She doesn't like her legal name, and prefers to be called Dude. We got a little laugh about that after.”

“Feeling valued by the bank. Over the years, so many different people have helped me advance my career, pushed me to do better, or even just taken time out of their days to congratulate me for a promotion, customer feedback, or a job well done. It makes doing my best immensely satisfying, and I’m proud to work for a company that provides that experience.”

“It is the senior team consistently making decisions that align with my values and type of place I want to work. Covid was a perfect example of paying staff their full wages while only working part of the time, or recognizing the need for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, being open to all opinions and actually valuing and using the feedback. ”
