Pros
I started at Broadview when it was still SEFCU. I have an advanced degree (same as the President, actually), and felt that my values aligned with the organization. During training, it was constantly mentioned that "if you do the right things... we will promote from within!" I believed the hype. People at the HQ seemed genuine, and I was excited to grow my career. One of the few "Pros" I can offer is that they give away a lot of money to important organizations within the community. However, one community they disregard is their own workforce.
Cons
Two realities exist at Broadview: "Branch" and "Headquarters". In the branch, you are short-staffed, lectured for taking sick days when you really are, in fact, sick, and deal with all of the confrontations - merger-related or not. Even if you have the PTO, you are lectured for being out. Those not in the front line live in an Ivory Tower and have no idea what occurs in the branches. They visit the HQ cafes, have walks on the indoor track during extended lunch breaks, and spend the hard-earned funds from the branch. We allocate money to grow lettuce hydroponically at the Patroon Headquarters while the branch employees are living paycheck to paycheck - dealing with merger questions we simply do not have answers to provide. The "values" are simply smoke and mirrors. If you know someone, you will be promoted. If not, look for a job elsewhere.
