Scott Schneider 10 Years Bank Officer & Assistant Branch Manager
Columbo… Triple C… and Scott. Scott Schneider goes by several names at Maspeth Federal on account of his problem-solving skills and his “cool, calm and collected” demeanor. “I try to keep a level head through tough situations and periods of change. Taking a moment to understand issues myself helps me teach others.” Mentorship is important to Scott, who sees his trajectory to Assistant Branch Manager as both an achievement and a tool that helps him mentor others. “It’s been an amazing journey for me,” he reflects. “Whenever there are new hires, I’m there welcoming them aboard, advocating for their growth and using myself as an example of a success story.” Scott started as a Teller after graduating Queens College in 2015. In 2019, he went full time, setting an accelerated rise from Teller to Universal Banker to Supervisor in motion. By September, he was nominated for the 2019 Spirit Award at the Employee Awards Night. “That came as such a shock!” Scott recalls. “I remember walking toward the bar and hearing my name being called. It’s this moment of ‘Who, me?’ It was like being at the Oscars. People took the time to write about me, which was an incredible honor.” One month later, Scott transferred to Ridgewood to help with the grand reopening of the branch, a memory that stands out as a lifelong Ridgewood resident. In 2021, he became Assistant Manager, making the rounds at Forest Hills and the Main Office before returning to Ridgewood. In addition to helping other people grow into success, the future of the bank is also top of mind for Scott, who enjoys brainstorming with colleagues about how to innovate—fitting for someone who builds computers in his free time. “I’ve always appreciated technology as a hobby rather than a job,” says the computer science major. “That way, it stays fun and exciting for me.” As for his own future: “Growing into a Branch Manager role would be a milestone for me along the road.” He credits Shivon James for her early guidance and Subrena Singh for preparing him for a managerial role. “She was an amazing manager. She imprinted knowledge on me that will last me a lifetime.” In closing, he adds, “There’s a reason I got where I am today, and it’s because of the guidance and wisdom of the people I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the years.”
