Pros

CFE has been an Orlando Sentinel Top 100 Places to Work over and over again because of it's robust benefits program. Health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) plan, education reimbursement, paid leave, sick leave, life insurance, and your birthday as a paid day off are all part of the employee package. New hires go through a thorough and comprehensive training and on boarding process in an effort to acclimate you to the corporate culture. The senior leadership are all friendly and accessible and the CEO has an open door policy for anyone who would like to communicate with him. Pay is fair and adjusted often to exceed fair market value. CFE does a great job at developing it's staff and hiring from within. All job postings are offered internally before made available outside of the organization. Technology is constantly being updated and designed around the needs of the organization. Specialized programs and applications are constantly being rolled out to meet the specific needs of departments and job functions, Onsite gym and cafeteria at the operations center as well as "quiet room" access and a TV lounge with big, comfortable recliners for lunch breaks. Dry cleaning service, car detailing, ZUMBA classes, a trainer for the gym that is very low cost, weight loss and health initiatives as well as lots of opportunities for supporting the community through volunteer service. Most importantly, there is more opportunity here than any place I have ever worked. If you work hard, develop yourself, and show that you are willing to do the work you can do very well for yourself. An incredible partnership with local high schools to develop job skills and financial education with branches located on the campuses. Incredible partnership with UCF and Seminole State College supporting their educational efforts and campus life for the students.

Cons

I'm sure of you were looking for it you could find your share of small nit-picky issues with this or that but human beings do work here. If you have a positive attitude and are willing to be a catalyst for positive change and growth this is an excellent organization to work for.

Pros

- Supportive coworkers who made the work environment more enjoyable. - Opportunities for continuous education and professional development.

Cons

- Compensation did not align with workload, with minimal raises and limited financial recognition for tenure. - Executive leadership often appeared disconnected from frontline operations. Interactions with staff were frequently perceived as dismissive or condescending. (Shirley Shoemaker & Kevin Dougherty) - Policies were enforced inconsistently, sometimes undermining employees in front of members. - PTO was restricted during holidays for most staff, while leadership had greater flexibility. - Employee feedback was not always received openly, with some actions creating a perception of retaliation. Often by “promoting” individuals to branches on the opposite side of town. - Pressure to meet sales goals conflicted with the company’s “members first” messaging. - Employees were strongly encouraged to participate in “best of” voting, raising concerns about authenticity. - Safety concerns were not always handled with urgency. In one instance, after being threatened by a customer and contacting the risk team, the response was minimal, which left me feeling unsupported.
