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.

Pros

Great Benefits, Generous Incentives, Paid time off, Great 401 (k) Retirement Plan

Cons

In the department I was in, supervisors had a bad habit of micromanaging; e.g. You leave for the restroom and have a message when you came back asking where you went. Favoritism was common. The harder you worked, the more work came your way while others were allowed to coast by. After many years I dreaded coming into work as nothing was getting better - only worse in the department. I left when the current CEO (Benson Porter) was coming on board - didnt seem very hands on/open as the previous CEO Gary Oakland (he was great). Lost of previous bankers being hired who aren't exactly team players.

Pros

Great benefits and pay.

Cons

Difficult to advance. Too much of a "sales" envoironment and less concern on Customer Service. Members pay the price for too much growth.
