Small enough to know each other
Alpine Bank has around 200 employees across six branches and our corporate office. That's small enough that most people know each other by name, and large enough that there are real opportunities to grow. You're not a cog in a machine here — you're a person whose work actually shows up in the community you live in.
We hire for character first and skills second, because skills can be taught and character can't. That's why our hiring process still involves real conversations, not just assessments and algorithms.
Benefits that start day one
Health, dental, and vision coverage start on your first day — not after 30 days, not after 90. Retirement plan with company match starts immediately too. We believe benefits shouldn't be something you earn after proving yourself; they should be part of what you signed up for.
We also offer paid parental leave, tuition reimbursement, and a wellness stipend. And every employee — full-time or part-time — gets 16 paid hours each year to volunteer with any organization they choose.
A culture of real balance
Banking has busy seasons, and we're honest about that. But we don't treat burnout as a badge of honor. Schedules are predictable, overtime is rare and always paid, and managers are expected to protect their teams' time off — not just approve it.
We also close early on Fridays during the summer, give everyone their birthday off, and shut down the entire bank for a week between Christmas and New Year's. Those are small things, but they add up to a place where people can actually have a life outside of work.
Room to grow
Most of our managers started in entry-level roles here. That's not a coincidence — we promote from within whenever we can, and we invest in training and tuition reimbursement so people can build the career they want, not just the one they were hired for.
If you're looking for a place to build a career rather than hop between jobs, we think you'll like it here. If you're looking for a quick paycheck and a fast exit, we're probably not the right fit — and that's fine too.
