Pros

Great CEO, non profit. Members are easy going. Team is good

Cons

Terrible management. Nitpicking, and micromanaging. It is always do this or you will get a write up. If you have a family in the credit union then they discriminate. Those employees get a special treatment to help them meet their goals. They want to hear positive feedback for their policies. Goals are unrealistic. It is becoming like Wells Fargo or Bank of America- Managers pushing to meet goals. If they continue at this pace they will loose their employees. Customer service is expected but the Sales is the priority- it is all about sales and numbers. Getting a sick leave, doctors appointment, family care- forget it. Going to school is one of things they promote but the managers discourage it and threaten and are not flexible with your schedule. It is job or school. Cultural awareness is missing among the lower management. Training is one of the worst. It is said that during the employee feedback it is said to be anonymous but it is actually not and they who said what and then the employee gets into hot water. Management likes to divide and rule.

Pros

Generous employee loan discount, hybrid work schedule, professional development opportunities, Fresh fruit is a nice touch.

Cons

Small desks and crowded to co-workers which creates distraction and difficulty at times to concentrate due to noise. Hotelling desk locations often "raided" of equipment. One day you'll get there and you're all set and the next time docking station of other equipment is gone.

Pros

Nice location, easy access, good D&I

Cons

I worked here for two years, the Pay scale was so low you had to work two jobs if you’re a single person. They have the customer service representatives doing sales, and then find ways to not give sales bonuses because your customer service levels aren’t high enough. I had worked in customer service for eight years and I’m still in customer service at another institution and never have I seen such ridiculous rules. If you have to send a request to another department and they call them back your first call resolution is crap. And remember this is a sales team so they pay you so little and work really hard to not give you a bonus. I talked to a Work coworker who stated that now they don’t get their quarterly bonuses because they have to be at 110% of First call resolution to get the quarterly sales. Bonus makes zero sense.
