BECU reviews

Great Benefits, Great People, and a good supportive atmosphere. I laugh look at some of the other comments from people; Goals are based on previous years, the goals are very attainabl and its not expected to push hard,(if you think it was hard you probably just suck at helping people and offering the right products to the right people) there is oppurtunity for overtime on occasion. I have worked at other credit unions and find BECU's values to be in line with other credit unions. It is not a bank and does not act like one. If you think goals are "hard" go to bank where they are much harder and if you don't meet them you get fired. Most of BECU's loan rates are very competivie (auto, visa, HELOC's and etc.) Sure personal loans have a higher rate but really who wants to give out money with no collateral. Its a huge risk. We had 4 weeks of new hire training that covered quite a lot. Sure it didn't cover everything but I am not sure that is possible to address every situation you may ever have. There is an average intranet page that can assist when you forget a process or get some weird transaction you dont't know how to do. There is also a Member Experience Help Desk for Consultants that can help you. They can even take over your computer and do the transaction for you! So if you use your resources you will be fine. You are not "thrown to the wolves." BECU strongly promotes from within, I interviewed several times for higher positions I was very qualified for but they hired a less experienced internal hire. It is competitive to move up internally but it happens often. Thank goodness they don't pay income tax. If they did they would then have to be a bank and spend the members money on taxes and not be able to give lower loan rates and higher deposit rates. (deposit rates are higher than anywhere I have ever worked)
