"(deleted) BANK!!" Why Do I Put Up With This? If you are mad as hell, you don t have to take this anymore! Everyone gets mad about something or someone occasionally. It could be that your spouse did something that you don t agree with. It could be something that your children didn t do that they were supposed to do. Maybe a fellow employee got you peeved. Or, you like your fellow employees but your employer is a pain. (No employee of First Secure Bank feels this way.) Or it could be about something rather than someone. How about a business that you try to call and keep getting pushed around by automated messages? Or a business that you walk into and find that the people working there are nice enough but can t do anything about the problem that you are having. And, people occasionally may get mad at..(dramatic pause) their bank. So, why do people get mad at their bank? Some of the time, its because the people at their bank can t help them with a problem. Some of the time, its because they are tired of being thought of as a number instead of a human being. A lot of the time its because their bank was sold to a larger bank and a cataclysm occurs. Whats a cataclysm? The dictionary says that it is an event that brings great changes marked by overwhelming upheaval. When a bank is sold, a cataclysm usually occurs. Can t get through on the telephone. Long lines at the branch. Lost accounts. And worse. We have about $200 million in deposits at Joliet from thousands of Joliet area residents. Thats far more than almost all of the other banks on Essington Road. And they have been here much longer than we have. So why have we been so successful? At least 80% of our customers were customers of another local bank before they came to us. So why did they then come to First Secure? Its because (1) they got mad, or just fed up with, their then current bank, and (2), they either know someone who works at First Secure or their friends told them that First Secure was a good place to do their banking business. And they started doing business with us. And now they are happy campers. How about you? Are you a happy camper with your bank? A memorable line from the 1976 movie Network was I'm mad as hell and I m not going to take this anymore. Now, if you become mad as hell at your bank, or even just a little peeved, you don t need to take it anymore. Come and see us at First Secure Community Bank of Joliet.
