I'm shocked that after the unpleasant incident I had with Tony at this location, management chose…read moreto keep him on staff. His behavior was rude, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. This is exactly why this branch has the reputation and reviews that it does. What's especially concerning is that his own coworkers felt compelled to apologize for his behavior, which puts the team in an unfair and uncomfortable position. Why place employees in such an unpleasant situation? Save yourself the trouble and go to the Bird Rock location instead. Unfortunately, this is the only branch open on Saturdays. While the manager did call me to excuse his behavior, anyone who shows such disregard for customers should not be working in customer service.

First Citizen's Bank changed their name a year or so ago & used to be called Iron Stone Bank (same…read morelocation. same bank). I have been an account holder for nearly a year and the overall experience is disappointing. Upon opening my business account it was explained to me that while no interest was being paid on my account balance that this smaller bank has a reputation for "high touch" personal service which is above and beyond most banks. This branch is conveniently located a block from the house so I decided to give them a chance. Now that I've been there a while I now see how much patience is required to work with them. For example, the technology is dated (from their old-style ATMs with limited capabilities to their clumsy website). The service at this bank is also below what I was led to expect. Just one service example, unlike my other banks First Citizen's places unreasonably long deposit-holds of more than a week on the my clients' checks I deposit (even checks drawn on local banks). That's life... except branch employees complain when occasionally (about once a month) I provide them with a bank officer to call at my client's bank in order to release my deposited funds earlier. Apparently making an occasional phone call to accommodate an account-holder is above and beyond the "high touch" service they had in mind. My experience with First Citizen's bank has made me realize how important having current technology plays into the service experience at a bank these days. This bank's dated technology and policies (like the long check-holds on deposits) requires patience not required at my other banks. Also, the fact that First Citizen's has shorter branch hours and is inexplicably closed on weekends makes the banking experience far too inconvenient. Most other banks I utilize offer a better banking experience than I've had at First Citizen's Bank.

Went in with a crisp $100 bill... asked for quarters as I have done bi-weekly for the last decade…read moreto do laundry... Today, magically, the new teller NEEDED my bank card.... absolutely unable to grab quarters without it. (Something not needed for the other roughly 260 times I have performed this exact action.... Upon giving my bank card, the teller said there is an issue with the machine and its a new computer so its giving them trouble.... a 4 minute MAX interaction turned into 35 minutes. And I was first in line. "thank you for your patience" ... Next time DO NOT ask for my bank card if its not STRICTLY needed. You CAN process quarter requests over $20.... Lack of educated staff combined with rude passive aggressive demeanor ruined my day and earned my first ever one star review. I would give a negative 5 if I could. I am strongly considering moving all assets out of WF as a result of this one interaction! After over a decade of banking. Do better!
