Pros

Not too sure of pay from other credit unions but entry level pay isnt too bad here. Room for advancement through the company usually look internally to fill a position before externally. Flexible scheduling (not including Saturday for part timers). Good entry into learning more about the financial industry. Nice co workers who you’ll actually enjoy working with. Lots of company wide activities and involvement throughout the year. Company will stand behind you in the case of some members who are rude or try and diminish you. For meeting quarterly goals the branch earns some monetary rewards.

Cons

Management plays favorites a lot. Advancement is based off longevity more than schooling. They do these things called MEE’s were random members come in and grade you in service this can be bad and good but doesn’t put MSO in stressful position if they don’t get a high enough score. When changes are made to certain lending products it’s not communicated to the members nearly enough or at all leaving the anger and aggression from members to be placed on MSO who face them daily. Knowledge over things you weren’t trained over is expected to stick with you after being told orally while helping some random member on some random day. The monetary rewards earned are usually spent on team bonding which not everyone at branch can go to or everyone from branch benefits from. If you work part time expect to work almost every Saturday full timers will usually work half the Saturdays you do or less than that you will usually get only one Saturday off a month even on months where there 5 Saturdays. Cross selling isn’t just encouraged it’s expected for every member even when it’ll do no good sometimes. Certain non branch workers like in certain departments aren’t a joy to communicate with when needing help. IT guys are rude and sarcastic about issues brought up to them even when they’re wrong they’ll barely help you. Sometimes with management it’s their way and that’s it. Starting to be really sales driven to the point where advertising is almost as bad as a bank with trying to sell members something every 20 seconds.

A+ Federal Credit Union Response

Thank you for your review. We appreciate the feedback and that you took the time to provide some advice. At A+FCU, we do not ask our team members to push or dump products onto our members. We expect that as service providers mentioning a product or service that would benefit our members is a reasonable request. As service providers, we must be the one to offer a product or service that will help our members. If we do not ask for their business, someone else will. Additionally, in order to be accessible to our members six days a week, we have to ensure that we schedule our team members accordingly. We also love watching our team members grow. On average we see about 5-10 promotions per month. The majority of these promotions are through our branch levels program. This employee developed program puts the ability to grow in the employee’s hands. They put the work into themselves through a set curriculum coupled with proving their abilities in the branch environment, and that typically leads to a promotion from a Member Services Officer I to a Member Services Officer II. We have a plethora of tools available for employee growth and development. Your other comments were provided to the management team. Thank you again for sharing your feedback on our organization! —Tricia Lewis, AVP Human Resources

Pros

Great support system and training to get you started. Great resources and although they hold you back for a while and have to "babysit" you, its for the better until you are fully ready.

Cons

Health insurance price increased and is barely covered by the raise they are giving this year. With the price of inflation you are losing money continuing to work in this position. Bank of America tellers are now earning 25 per hour. Can A+ make this a reality to help cover their employees cost of living? I know many employees who are struggling to survive on this salary, and they even have to work mulitple jobs to keep their family aloat. And are now stuggling more with the health plan increases? That doesn't seem like it should be the case.
