Pros

I spent 5 years in an environment that was crafted to destroy me physically, mentally, spiritually, professionally and personally. Instead, I have survived to expose their and plans.

Cons

I wasn't hired by the managers in my department. They didn't want any more help or ideas. They were obviously compelled to hire me by some outside force that knew it was professionally the right thing that was needed .. because it was missing. I didn't understand how a nation could employ the "redistribution of wealth" plan until I worked at this company. The few majority retired admirals at the top of the company added 3 to 5 layers of minority V.P.s and managers beneath them to carry out their will on the remaining 10,000 employees. Understand that this company is not a financial instituition. It bears no resemblance even to an american enterprise. How it received approval to operate as a Federal Credit Union, free of all taxation and DOD office space expense, is an atrocity. The layers of minority managers exclusively promote minorities from every nation on the earth (Philipino, Iranian, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, etc.). This is better understood when you discover that the wives, sisters, daughters, nieces and daughters-in-law of the top officers occupy most of the V.P. and manager positions.

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.
