Careers

There is a certain sense of pride of working for a strong community bank.

It's an environment of mentorship.

There are mentors everywhere sitting next to you, sitting across from you, standing on stage, sitting in the offices around you.

Getting to help people be the very best version of themselves.

Continuing education. There's always lots of opportunities to grow and learn.

Leadership brings you to the team because they already know what you're capable of and there is an immense amount of trust.

Our leadership team is running at the front and they're not just at the top.

And they're very interested in knowing each and every employee.

They care about what we think, our goals, our ambitions.

They help me see my potential.

Great to work with them on a more personable level.

They are available if we have a question.

We are all accessible at all levels.

Our leadership teams have done an amazing job of putting people first.

They show up to events. Our customers know who they are, they are reachable.

How many employees can say that they have access to the CEO.

They do a really good job on communicating to us.

They're very open about trying to communicate the vision of the bank.

We're all out for a long-term goal and we're all invested in the community as local members.

I feel proud to work for a bank that is so actively involved.

Montecito Bank & Trust does a great job of connecting us to the community.

How much we're encouraged to volunteer.

I've had the opportunity to volunteer not only at specific events, but also serving on boards.

The Bank allows time for all associates to get involved in what their heart follows.

Fun in The Sun, any of the triathlons.

The beach cleanup.

Lunch board meetings.

Teach kids. You can share your skills.

The Bank will provide opportunities to do so even during the workday.

Those opportunities come right to you and all you have to do is put your name down.

There's not a cap on how many hours I can volunteer.

We recognize people for their volunteer activities, and I'm always so impressed when I see the numbers and the way that people are out there in the community.

And I think it speaks to the culture of community partnership at the bank.
