Pros

Great work environment, great coworkers, on the job training, paid holidays if full time, and vacation time.

Cons

There aren't very many but the pay isn't the best, sometimes management does not let you know if you're doing a good job they only tell you the negatives, but there are no other cons that I can really think of.

Pros

This is the first job ive ever had where the management cares about you, you get personally recognized for your acheivements at every level (even just starting at an entry level posistion), the opportunity to rise up and move withing the company is fantastic, ive only been working here a year and a half and ive gotten three raises and have stepped up three posistions, they lay out a great career path, the benefits cover a lot, they have an employee assitance program where if you need counselling or help with finances or anything they are there and able to help you and your family. They have an employee appreciation day where the last few times they have rented lagoon for a full day for afcu employees only which is awesome, and they do employee incentives (basically a second paycheck after you've been there about six months youre eligible but its only if the company can afford it ((usually they can)) so thats another perk). there are a lot of perks to working here. its very proffesional and it teaches you what you need to learn (free training). they even have tuittion reimbursment for certain career choices as well. oh and did i mention paid government holidays? paid time off? paid sick leave? fmla and other types of leave are available too. oh and even if you only work 30 hours you are still eligible for full benefits. im not sure what 20 hour employees are eligible for, except i do know they are also eligible for the tuittion reimbursement. they have a lot of incentives to do volunteer work and excersise as well. i think one of our locations actually has a gym in it (totally jealous of that btw) they offer discounts for employees on technology purchases and lots of other things, discounted phones, discount movie tickets, lots of perks in that way.

Cons

they dont let you express individuality through style as much as id like, there arent uniforms but there is a dress code (although its not much different from any other workplace dress code) They dont allow tattoos or colored hair to show if you have any, they dont allow any other peircings than the two in the ears for girls only. you cant take sick days for your furry family members (pets) still a standard practice for almost all businesses though so i cant hold this against them. I dont like sitting all day so sometimes that gets to me a little but you can walk around if you need to. soemtimes its feels like fast food where members (what we call our clients) will still treat you like youre nothing because they have tons of money in their accounts and want you to break policy and sometimes government regulations to accomodate them, as is true with any customer service job, policies change a lot so you have to be willing to stay up to date and retrain yourself on a lot of things, there is a lot to learn at first and its an ongoing process.
