There used to be a real respect for employees that worked hard and there was a two way street of dedication between the employees and the company. First National Bank Omaha, was the premiere place to work in our state, because of the morals and values of the former leaders of the company. Ones success was measured by the merits of ones work, not by politics."

What don't you like about working at First National Bank of Omaha?

"The philosophy has changed dramatically and the Bank has now gone away from what made it successful. There is no loyalty from the company anymore and they are going away from their community banking basis to a more big bank mentality that will not work in our community. What the Bank is failing to realize is that no matter how much growth is experienced in Omaha, it will always be run and lived in like a small community not a large metropolitan area. The new leadership needs to go back to its roots and invoke some of the old practices which made the company great over the past 150 years."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Stop trying to re-invent the Bank, and celebrate the fact that you have been a premiere institution for 150 years. Stop trying to utilize six sigma methodologies in a Bank that isn't big enough or sophisticated enough to utilize the practices. Stop thinking because you have someone from an Ivy league school that they automatically understand how to effective tell you how to manage your Bank. Be cautious about this youth movement from a management perspective there is not enough staff with historical knowledge of the Bank to uphold the principles that the Bank was founded on and what made the Bank so successful any more. Most importantly stop the political machine that is ruining the Bank, go back to meritorious service as a marker for employee success."
