No Respect For Employees

Pros

Great place to have your money but they manage employees through intimidation. Employees who are back office or non member facing seem to have a little job satisfaction.

Cons

So much pressure to "sell". No longer have the true Credit Union philosophy but are exactly like a bank (not in a good way). Make you feel like you should be indebted to them for hiring you. They do NOT allow you to do what is truly in the members best interest but want you to PUSH what us in the best interest of the Credit Union. There is absolutely no work life balance for anyone in a lead or management position.

Pros

Hours are good. Benefits are decent A lot of experience since you have to be an "expert" in every product the company offers

Cons

Becoming more and more sales focused. not as much about the Member as it was at first. They are doing a lot of external hiring for upper positions instead of promoting with in. Makes it really hard to move up in the company. The advancement opportunities seem less and less.... probably wont be able to make a career out of staying with BECU

A Not-For-Profit Becoming More Corporate-Like By The Day.

Pros

Since it's a relatively small organization, your work experience here will vary tremendously on which supervisor that you end up. Pay is pretty average but they do have a good bonus plan. The organization is growing rapidly...but some BECU and Boeing employees question why there is the need to grow so large. The workplace feel used to be more of a non-profit but it is quickly becoming another corporate America. They have a pretty generous bonus program in lieu of stock options like a regular company would have.

Cons

Career growth is pretty stagnant, even they do offer some training budget. The cross-department communication is poor to say the least. The only way that working at BECU really makes sense for the career-minded individual is by staying for the long haul and take advantage of their pension plan that starts to kick in after five years of service.
