EXPECT THE ZIGZAG John Steinmetz chose an unpaid internship with the white house over a job with Bear Stearns, one of the top 10 investment banks, only to encounter a hiring freeze in 2002. It led him to another job, the foundation, for his miraculous career in Banking. UNCERTAINTY
MENTORSHIP FOUNDATION OF THE CAREER In his first job with PlainsCapital Bank John D. Steinmetz had the opportunity to work under the company chairman and CEO Alan White. This mentorship played a crucial role in his career and proved to be the foundation stone for his assignment with Vista Bank.
BEGINNING WITH VISTA BANK ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGE Steinmetz encountered an unprecedented challenge when a smaller, family-owned bank, headquartered in a town of less than 2,000 people, VISTA BANK, invited him to work with them. He quit this large organization only to compete with them with only a $950,000 legal lending limit in hand. He accepted it.
WEAKNESS ACCEPT WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW John Steinmetz recalling his early days with Vista Bank says "We thought we knew everything there was to know. At 29, I realized really quick how much we didn't know." He accepted where they lagged and the vision was more clear about what needs to be done.
APPROACH RIGHT MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION John D. Steinmetz and his team after realizing the challenge before them, collaborated with other banks. They also started adding prestigious clients, which proved be a turning point in Bank's growth.
Steinmetz values how the growth has happened than the growth of the bank itself. Since John and his team started working for the Vista Bank, the retention has been extraordinary with only less than 5 employees having quit the company. PEOPLE ARE ASSET
