BECU is a special culture within financial services

Pros

BECU is a unique culture in banking that is rarely found anywhere and special because it is one of the only and last local Seattle based banks of it’s size. Excellent benefits, coworkers and values. Because the home office is local, many more career opportunities for those who stay in Seattle. Wait-no brutal soul crushing micromanage and product pushing makes for happier employees and members?!

Cons

Credit unions have less risk appetite for good reason, but it can seem like we are passing up a lot of current opportunity taking market share from larger competitors by not always being able to compete on product or price. We encounter business that wants to leave the big banks but cannot because we can’t offer the same platform and that is sad.
