64 maconmagazine.com | APRIL/MAY 2020 THE MISSION OF OUR BUSINESS: Our vision is to make Persons Banking Company the best bank in our markets by providing exceptional customer service both externally and internally; creating a welcoming team environment through training, communication and career advancement; and creating market value for our investors through profitability and growth. THE MOST GRATIFYING PART OF MY JOB: Seeing the excitement in a newlywed couple after planning out their financial future or restoring the hope of an individual after finding a solution to their debts. – Veronica HOW I DEFINE SUCCESS: My team working together to provide extraordinary customer service. Working with my team is such a pleasure, and I am so proud when a customer recognizes our commitment to them and takes the time to call or write to acknowledge one of my teammates. – Karen I HOPE MORE WOMEN WILL: Find their potential, break the mold and keep pushing. I think we are seeing more of this now. There have been so many changes in the traditional roles that women play. It is not necessarily "a man's world" any longer. – Rachel WOMEN COULD BETTER SUPPORT EACH OTHER BY: Not passing judgment on one other for a decision you may not have made. Respect each other's choices. – Anita THE MOST CHALLENGING PART OF BEING A WOMAN IN BUSINESS: Gender and racial inequality. Laws, cultures, religion and politics are built upon a patriarchal foundation. Women must work their way up in the masculine world while facing stigma and discrimination. Although laws and policies have attempted to create a favorable business environment for everyone, the actual changes have not yet been implemented. – Veronica Persons Banking Company RACHEL BENTON, Branch Manager and Security Officer KAREN FRENCH, Vice President and Head Retail Officer ANITA HARVEY, Retail Banking Manager VERONICA RODRIGUEZ, Assistant Branch Manager 877-753-9224 | Forsyth | Kathleen | Perry personsbankingcompany.com
