Pros

There are no pros other than getting a check while looking for another job!

Cons

The culture is evil but could be inviting to some who thrive in this environment. Management does not know how to communicate with employees. VP - Branch Center Director will not ever acknowledge you exist unless you are an Assistant Manager or higher. What would it take to just say hello or acknowledge you exist? Very arrogant, rude and vain just like many of the other upper managers who do the same thing. The managers have their favorites and it shows. Many termination notices every week from tellers to CFO. You never know who will be next in line for the ax. Very disorganized at corporate level all the time. Advancement and recognition based on who you know and how well you play the game and kiss up. Performance seems almost secondary. Most never advance as you will stay where you come in. ESL is a credit Union. It should be serving members but its serves management first. Backstabbing happens daily. Trust no one. You can not afford to have friends here as they may eat you alive. You must keep your mouth shut and speak to no one to survive.

Pros

Management really cares about employees, great benefits, inviting culture competitive salary and lots of growth if you work hard.

Cons

Sure there are some challenges, but they don't compare to other organizations. Senior management gets a bad wrap from some employees, but those employees don't know how good they have it. Honestly, if you hate it so much, please do us all a favor and leave. It will be good for you and the company.

Pros

Benifits/Health Isurance - They helped pay for my psychiatric visits and prozac that was the result of my boss and the ESL work environment.

Cons

North Korean Style Management/Leadership ( Kim Jong Un ) at the top. Assassinations daily and erratic changes made all the time You never knew who would be executed next or what crazy management decision would be made out of the blue. Most made no sense. Stress Level in the ozone every day. I was on anti depression/anxiety medicine until I left. I worked in back office and the branches. The branches are worse. Manager/supervisors and fellow workers could not be trusted at all. A very sick environment to work in. There were days I did not want to get out of bed to go to work. The management has made it that way. You could loose your mind here?
