My colleagues have provided me with a great education.

I’ve been fortunate in having a lot of good mentors at First Republic. We tend to be a very flat organization where people are approachable and willing to teach. I didn’t come in here knowing exactly what a bank did or how to make loans, so I definitely owe a lot of my growth to the people who took me under their wing.

The culture at First Republic keeps me energized and having fun.

We do various social gatherings and outings with our teams to help us enjoy time our colleagues outside of the office. I’ve done the Corporate 5K Run a few times and that’s always fun because you get to spend some time with our colleagues that you don’t always interact with and do a light jog around town.

Words of wisdom I have for First Republic job candidates or new First Republic colleagues.

This is an organization where people care about you. We believe that if our people are happy, then our clients are happy. We focus on our colleagues as much as we do our clients. I think that is a unique cultural aspect that you don’t find everywhere else.

First Republic offers benefits that make a real difference.

We offer a great employee discount on home mortgages for colleagues. The rate is better than market rate and we have various loan options available depending on what a colleague’s needs are.
