Great company but with some room for improvements - MSR Level IV Navy Federal Credit Union Employee Review

Pros

Benefits are just unmatchable from other financial institutions, including big banks: health insurance is one of the best. You get no copay charges if you use online medical services like MD Live. If you work from home, they will pay for up to $300 in fitness costs, including gym membership and shoes, per year. Compensation is decent when you start out but as you get tenured, your salary becomes more and more generous on top of potential yearly bonuses. Work life balance is fair: you either get Saturday or Sunday off although you could work evenings or overnights.

Cons

Constant system failures, almost daily: mobile app, online banking, internal systems all need a desperate upgrade. Debit card dispute process for members is extraordinarily painful. Dispute department is never available to assist or talk to members, leaving fraud first line supervisors on their own to fight with angry members.

Pros

Great work-life balance. Great benefits- 7% 401K match, 3% pension, $1K HSA match. 4 weeks vacation and 2 weeks sick leave. Discounted rate on mortgage or auto loan. Company really values tenure and employee retention. Hybrid schedule with 3 times a week for people leaders, 2 times a week for individual contributors.

Cons

Ver relationship-based. If you can't network, you likely won't have much upward mobility. Can be bureaucratic depending on your leadership.

Pros

In my tenure I had wonderful people I met who had a great impact on my life.

Cons

Unreasonable expectations, lack of planning and change management, no work-life balance, destroyed my mental health and had a severe negative impact on my family life and overall well being, accommodations denied, FMLA was a nightmare- I was hounded the entire time when I would return. Also an emergency that was life threatening and was expected to continue to report daily after clearly outlining the details and severity of the situation. Lack of empathy from upper management, thankful my direct leadership had a soul . Total opposite of the place I was so proud to work for and the culture that Mr. Dawson built has almost been fundamentally torn apart piece by piece. Multiple requests to voluntarily step down. I’ve seen another review from the department of people having severe mental distress issues and this is an ongoing issue that has been silently known about since at least 2018 and nothing has really been done. The pressure just keeps adding on instead. A lot of talk, but it’s fluff. Then when finally the impact takes its toll and an employee performance starts to show the struggles, they’re placed on a PIP & basically playing Russian roulette to keep your livelihood. Maybe member experience would be better if employees were actually cared for and not disregarded. And when you are strong willed and try to improve and won’t quit, they will find a way to throw you to the curb after you’ve devoted years of loyalty, integrity, awards, and exceeding performances. Please save the “we are sorry and this does not reflect our blah blah” auto reply. It’s insulting.
