Overworked and too much emphasis on loan dollars

Business Outlook

Pros

They have decent pay, good benefits, good training, generally friendly coworkers, and a tech savvy upper management who seem to genuinely care for their employees.

Cons

Too much pressure to sell loan products to every single member who walks in the door, loan goals are way to high to realistically meet, the amount of sick leave granted per year is laughable, and Neighbourhood Financial Centers are too few, and too far apart resulting in excessively long wait times for members. Inflexible management. Complicated, overly redundant systems, that increase inefficiency. Long hours, especially if a member comes in for a loan just before closing.

The work load was very unbalanced. Sometimes there was an unbearable amount to get done and other times it was extremely light load.
