BECU reviews

Poor work/life balance, poor management. Generous PTO, but you aren’t allowed to take it when you want unless you are a senior employee. Long hours with unreliable scheduling. Managers only look out for themselves. If you work at a busy location you will have to work more Saturdays than someone in the same position at a slower branch. Unrealistic sales goals that are more strictly enforced than told during interviews. You will be fired if you don’t meet them. Much of the back office staff can be extremely rude and condescending to frontline staff for asking questions they simply wouldn’t know the answer to.

Terrible training. Recruiter misquoted hours for PT. Manager changed scheduled hours without consulting me. Concierge role doesn't receive any incentive pay. Others hired in "pay grade" above me with no degree or banking experience over me; I was told that since I didn't have banking experience they could only offer me the lowest entry point position (I'm a college graduate). IMPOSSIBLE to guarantee PTO if you're in the branches. No flexibility in start or end times, unless planned weeks to months ahead; I don't know how anyone can buy a house, have a baby, or have outside hobbies when the days off are constantly rotating, FT employees don't get 2 days off in a row. Long hours! Some FT employees will pull 10-12 hour days (7am mtg, 8:30am-6:15pm shift, get stuck until 7pm because someone walked in 2 minutes before closing wanting to open an account.
