Pros
Simply put, the pros are this: 1.) There are good people among the rank-and-file, and 2.) you have plenty of opportunity to do work outside of your job description. Many see Item 2 as a problem - but, that's how you grow, people.
Cons
The executives are filled with "geometric angles." See what I did there? Many senior executives lack intellectual curiosity, or are just plain lazy, if they are not interested in the departments they are in charge of. The culture, mission statement, and corporate directives lack sincerity and transparency. The executives are afraid to disagree with the CEO, and the CEO is more interested in appearance than substance. I found that it is better to be favored than competent at the Credit Union. This is a consistent theme and a top to bottom problem. Many departments pass the buck - they do not take responsibility for work, and look to punt whenever they can. The departments most notorious for this are the "favored." They pass the buck then take credit for providing "solutions." The competent do the work so as not to pass the member along In more than twelve years of employment, I had seven bosses and was tossed around like a dirty sponge. Only two of my bosses were worthy of their position, the first left within two months and the second just over a year.
