Pros

Met a lot of really cool people and had some great friendships start. They also cover health insurance which can also be a con…see below.

Cons

Literally everything else. Cant move up or around besides lateral moves that will leave you pigeon holed in the same salary cap consistently. No matter how “experienced” you are. No actionable feedback so you’re left feeling stuck at your current role. Pay is actually WAY lower than they list. They list the total compensation package which is fine…but they make it seem like a position is making 90k a year when in reality it’s closer to 35-40k a year. I was there for over 3 years and barely made over $21 an hour. The raises were pitiful. But told “We’re lucky we work for a company that is even giving raises!” Like I care what other companies are doing when I work here… Restructuring consistently fatigued front line employees because there’s absolutely no consistency and lots more turnover over than what you’d think. Constantly gloating on an old award from 5-7 years ago and riding off that coattail. Back then, it might have actually been a great place to work. Also, the hours suck. Working every other weekend, long day shifts and working 10 hours on Fridays is terrible.

Pros

Working at MSUFCU has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The work is fast-paced, innovative, and always evolving which keeps every day exciting. Leadership is forward thinking and truly invests in employees through AMAZING benefits, education and growth opportunities, and a strong focus on work-life balance. Having an onsite cafe at the headquarters, a workout facility and coworkers who genuinely feel like family make it an even better place to work. I hope to retire from here as it's the best job that I've had.

Cons

fast-paced with new projects all the time

Pros

Amazing co workers, great benefits, inclusive workplace for those with disabilities

Cons

You will only have a good experience if you get into specific areas of the credit union. Other places will burn you out and ruin your mental health completely no matter how much you communicate with management. Pay raises are small and it is almost impossible to get a raise outside of the yearly. And getting a promotion is even more difficult.
