Pros

Career development , great people and good products.

Cons

It feels like top talent isn’t being compensated appropriately with other FI paying significantly more and then making it almost impossible to hit KPI‘s. Senior leadership (C-suite) feels like a revolving door, leading to muddied communication and wishy-washy initiatives.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you’ve experienced meaningful career development, enjoyed working with great people, and feel confident in the products — those are important aspects of a rewarding workplace, and we’re pleased they’ve stood out for you. We also understand your concerns around compensation and leadership consistency. Feeling that pay may not keep pace with the broader market can be discouraging, especially when performance expectations or KPIs feel difficult to achieve. Likewise, frequent changes in senior leadership can create uncertainty and make it harder to follow a clear, consistent direction. While perspectives on these topics may differ, your feedback highlights how important clarity, fairness, and stability are to employee confidence and engagement. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. Thoughtful input like yours helps us better understand what’s working well and where we need to continue improving to support our people and their growth.

Pros

Veteran employees who still believe in what BECU used to stand for, hanging on in hopes that the company changes course from its current direction back to its original current values.

Cons

BECU was once a leader within the credit union industry, but recent priorities have shifted toward image and company expansion rather than generally caring for their employees. Leadership has shown to have a lack of humility and empathy which has created a terrible environment for dedicated hardworking employees that are being taken for granted. The culture of leadership is disconnected from the everyday struggles of the staff. Simple gestures of free lunch, or small events are used to boost morale, but often highlight inequity. It’s more a facade to appear caring, when in reality staff are left unsupported and unheard. The very people keeping the company working. Finally, employees are consistently encouraged to go above and beyond job expectations, which in and of itself is reasonable, however the average employee sees no such reward, recognition, or advancement after sacrificing their own financies, time and well being. Any such request from the staff for balance or fairness is often met with deflection and gaslighting.
