Wouldn't go back... Messy management and lack of planning - Mortgage Loan Officer Navy Federal Credit Union Employee Review

Pros

The only pros to this position are the $20/hour pay and the healthcare/dental etc benefits. Otherwise, skip working here OR only work here as a stepping stone to a new career. After a while, the pay didn't seem fair.

Cons

Everything. The campus is nice, but I wish more money would be spent on investing in their employees' paychecks and knowledge of the industry. Lackluster training was a big reason why I left, moving around to different sections of mortgage in the same job title, but with a different role. While being there for less than a year, I was a loan officer, a processor, a mortgage support assistant (MSA), and felt like I needed to be my own manager at times without managerial pay. People would come to me with questions because our MPS or management would judge us for needing help. When asking for overtime, because it's needed here and believe me, you'll be begging to be allowed overtime hours, they will tell you you're only allowed 5 and you need to justify why you need more hours, while you're trying to keep up an unreasonable 80-100 loan pipeline, as an LO1. They tell you an LO1 typically carries about 50-60 loans, but that isn't true. You get more than that, sometimes double, and when you're stressed out they say "it's okay not to feel okay :)". For the amount of stress on employees, we should be paid much more. $20/hour doesn't cut it. When you ask for a raise, they deny you before you plead a case. Worst employment experience I've ever had.

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.
