BECU reviews

BECU is having an identity crises currently they are not sure if they want to continuing being a local credit union, regional credit union, multi-state federal credit union, or even covert to a commercial bank. They are having an identity crises along the political area was well. They have decided to serve the social justice political line. They have turned into a jobs programs for people with certain attributes and political bent, but not actually hiring folks who are actually qualified for the specific positions. As a result the service to the Member is suffering. This has caused organizational instability at all levels in BECU. Incompetent Executive Management is at the root of BECUs issues at all level. Most if not all of BECUs Executive Management come from for profit banks. Credit Unions are a unique origination designed to be non-profit and service Members. If you are looking for a job at BECU look elsewhere until BECU is able to iron out their Executive Management issues.

Lack of connection between Retail workers and all remote/corporate workers - backoffice and intercommunications are terrible. Very rare career advancement opportunities INTERNAL - they really like to hire external and keep you where you're at. As far as Retail goes, the company likes to say you're "the most valuable face of the company, etc" and will not accommodate or actually show it. In my years there, they took an ANNUAL survey from frontline staff to ask how we were doing in day to day working environment, which doesn't sound so bad until you find out they change websites, policies, and almost everything you do in your day to day job without asking for your input, or feedback.
