Pros

Good benefits, good employees, is willing to hire you back after leaving the company.

Cons

To be honest it’s a bit manipulative. They say from job description, interview, and training that it is NOT a sales job yet all you do is “provide service” (actual sales) in branches and you are rated based on your production which is upsetting and manipulative as they keep insisting it’s not a sales job. I would have appreciate it more if they were up front about what it really is than painting an illusion and getting you written up for not meeting per say goals. Company priorities is ridiculous. Instead of making sure things work or not having their customers wait for 45minutes to an hour wait, they’re spending money on developments that are not broken or currently working and rolling out a completely different system (business online banking) without looking ahead or even creating an actual department that takes care of maintenance.

Pros

Good benefits and PTO, Affordable health insurance

Cons

Low pay compared to industry. Insight survey result shows employees are not happy with their own salary. All VPs and EMT members only cares about profit and how to cut costs. With recent raise of 5-10%, employees are still making way less than other companies. People in Retail Banking are leaving the company for higher pay. However. Upper management still thinks current pay is fair and would hire someone would work for BECU not becuase of money. The thing is people do work for their money and keep up with living cost. Be Real like BECU core value

Pros

The benefits were very good. I also truly liked my co-workers, and have made some lifelong friends while working there.

Cons

Like many companies, BECU is struggling to achieve DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion). I'm a white woman, and experienced ongoing gender bias from my manager. I reached out to his manager and to HR for almost 20 months, and kept hearing "we don't perceive any sexism here." They're good people who mean well, but don't have a strong understanding of what bias is, or how it manifests. I was hired as one of the replacements for four women who'd left previously. Another woman left last year. I'm the sixth. Even if leaders don't understand bias, I think they should have understood outcome (smart, experienced women leaving the team, or leaving BECU all together).
