  edit from 09.05.25: Might have to eat my words lol. I went through the drive up to deposit, and as a young woman who doesn’t manage this stuff a lot of the time, I wasn’t sure if I had to wait for them to greet me/if they were busy/etc. So I sat waiting, and eventually a woman (name plate in the window says Shelby) kinda rudely goes “is there something I can help you with?”. A little gentler tone and compassion would be appreciated, not everyone does this everyday or knows how it works lol. I said “oh yeah sorry, I’m just looking to deposit some cash. I didn’t know if I was supposed to grab the thing or wait”. and she said “yeah everytime you put stuff in there and then we greet you”. Like… okay? lol. I just didn’t know. This is the exact type of interaction where nothing horrible happens, but basic like kindness/friendliness in communication is lacking. Moral of the story, some people here are great and friendly, some are just not the best interaction. Everyone has a bad day, but you can be understanding and friendly to people regardless, especially when they just don’t know how it works. I’m sure she’s a great friendly person, maybe having an off day, tired, life circumstances etc, but with the other frustrations I’ve had with FIB I guess I just hoped for friendlier customer service. I work in customer service and even on my worst days, I wouldn’t have such a rude tone with customers. I also don’t need the automated reply to reviews saying how “we apologize for letting you down”. For people with concerns, give a real reply and a direct resource. Very disappointing overall. I had completed a survey sent out via email and I’ll be honest - I was very blunt about my frustrations when completing the survey. I received an email today from Melony asking if there was anything they could do to better my experience and we chatted over email about the issues I’d been having. She gave me some great tips and made me feel much more comfortable with the customer service at this location!! Melanie was also great a few weeks back. I had gotten a $30 service charge for transferring between accounts during an emergency and I left a voicemail asking if anything could be done, Melanie called me back and as a one time courtesy waived $20 of the $30. While I’ve had my frustrations with First Interstate, I really appreciated them reaching out and hearing me out on my frustrations while giving me solutions and being so friendly and kind. Thank you, Melony and Melanie!!!

  I can understand the minimalist design looks nice, but this bank does not have enough tellers. I went in over my lunch break to complete a withdraw. There were lots of cars in the drivethrough, so I went inside. There was 1 teller helping customers. The branch by Mernards seems way too small to for how busy it is. This bank is understaffed and I feel bad for them. They are apologetic about wait times, but seem very stressed out.
