Have you ever wondered what happens to all the worst farms, that no other milk producers' co-op…read morewants? They start their own cooperative, since it's the only prayer these rejects have of a market for their milk. That's Scenic Central. I hauled milk for one of their contractors for 15 years. We always used to say Scenic Central was a farmer's last stop before the bankruptcy auction. We saw these s-hole farms get dropped by other milk marketers, and Scenic Central would be all over them like the last chopper out of Saigon. There was a running joke...if you saw some farm that looked like a junkyard, we would say it must be a Scenic Central calendar farm. Their big claim to fame was always "NO DEBT". Of course they don't have any debt....they don't have one single tangible asset. It doesn't take a rocket sceintist to figure that out. The trucking company I worked for hauled milk for many different milk marketers...and Scenic Central was by far the worst. The worst farms, the worst field reps, the worst dispatching, the worst of everything. Now this review is based on how they treat their contractors.....if you are a failing dairy farm and they hold the last pack of saltines between you and the food bank, you may have a different opinion.

I've been a customer of this bank for some time, and no wonder. This bank is a big deal! I know…read morealmost all the staff and never have to worry about being recognized when I walk through the door. The staff goes above and beyond, as exampled by this experience with Jordan, Assistant General Manager in La Crosse: I brought to Trevor, the initial associate I encountered, my check to cash, written to me on the account of another bank, representing the remaining balance on an automobile purchase; so, an amount that I was eager to obtain immediately. Trevor was truthful, informing that I could deposit the check with a one- or more-day hold, pending verification of funds: standard precautionary procedure. I've known Jordan since day one of my association with Citizens State Bank. Trevor took my check matter to Jordan, who elaborated on the reason for the hold: bad checks and overdrafts, me left holding the bank bag, all that sort of thing. In desperation (I know he felt it in me), I meekly suggested phoning the issuing bank to verify funds available with a simple phone call, which to my great relief he did for me! Having obtained that verification, he was able to authorize immediate release of the funds. I couldn't have asked for better nor more expeditious service, and doubtless could not at any other financial institution have received it. To say the least, I salute the attention that the staff in La Crosse has paid not only my feeble attempts at banking, but to me as a customer. Cash to coffee (perhaps someday I may be able to say 'dollars to donuts'?), this Citizens State Bank puts out the welcome mat for customer satisfaction.

I was trying to book a flight and the airlines put a hold on my card for $420. Through the…read moreexperience of trying to figure out if the charge went through or dropped off, I dealt with Jen, who worked with me for several days during my travels to check on my account with various charges, etc. She was extremely kind, supportive and personal. When I was driving through Spring Green the other day I was thinking I should have flowers delivered to her or that I should call her boss and tell them she should get a raise. The bank in general has been amazing to me. They know me by my voice when I call, and by my face when I drive through. The customer service for me has always been great, and they are always kind, helpful, respectful and professional.

I paid my bill with Ellen over the phone using their third party credit card payment company, PSN…read more She said it was denied so I emailed her the statement that money had been paid from the bank account. The next morning she called and said it still hadn't been paid and she didn't get any email and that I had to straighten it out with PCN. She sent them to disconnect (I avoided it, but they threatened if I didn't pay right away they would be back and they would shut off my electricity). PCN said it was paid to Boscobel Utilities, so I called Ellen back and she HUNG UP on me! The nasty city workers were right back to disconnect, so I paid cash. After a few weeks, a different employee called to verify the card number; the money was in their general ledger. She did apologize, but Ellen has never apologized and is still short with me! I have been a customer for about 18 years, but this was not a good experience for me.

Trying to use the website to manage your mortgage with this company is intensely painful. The…read morepassword requirements insure you will never remember your password without writing it down, which is a huge no-no. You need to know your loan number before you can reset your username (this was a problem when they didn't send paper statements, which they do now). I tried to reset my password for months one time before calling and being told 'Oh, that link on the site doesn't work right now, you have to call and we'll email you the right link.' You get 3 tries and then your account is locked, but no warning before it's locked. Most recently I was told that my account was deactivated because I hadn't logged in in 30 days "for protection - it's a security feature." It's a mortgage account, paid monthly . . . I'm highly likely to not log in every 30 days so it just makes my experience more painful. Speaking to the customer support rep, I felt like the concerns weren't validated and they were almost annoyed that I had a complaint. I can say they have always helped me fix the problem, but I wish there were not so many problems. I've never had to call customer support as much as I have using this online account. On the plus side, I did get a good rate on my mortgage. But I'd recommend any new customers set up paying their mortgage through a bill pay feature on their regular bank site. Also to hook it up to something like Mint.com right away so you don't have to worry about forgetting your username or password and then dealing with the pain of resetting them on this site. It will make managing your mortgage online much easier than going through the site.

Let me explain: one day I got there after they'd closed, but I didn't know it. I went to the door, saw the sign and walked back to my car. A manager came out of the door and asked if he could help me. I told him I thought they were closed. He said they were, but he was still there and was glad to help. He did. HOw often would that happen with any other bank? They know their customers and do all they can to help us. Five stars!
