Pros

We were on a military base in Japan so a close-knit group. Gained so much experience and knowledge during my time here as well as life-long connections. Very rewarding job, educating a lot of younger active duty military and their families. Getting to see their reactions when you resolve an issue or exceed expectations was the icing on the cake. Management accommodated family life and work/life balance. No micromanaging (thankfully). If you want to learn something extra or think you’re ready to take on more tasks or responsibility, management is open to and encourages that. They even went out of their way to see if we could have a mortgage specialist at our branch (I was interested in taking that on). There wasn’t enough of a demand in our area for that but just that they would try to make it happen meant a lot to me. Great benefits, 401K, culture. I felt like Navy Fed truly cared about me even across the ocean. The CEO and director of branch operations visited our branch! I worked at a smaller credit union in Florida previously and that didn’t even happen there and we were 40 minutes away from corporate… I would have loved to continue my journey with Navy Federal but now live in an area where there are no branches near me. Otherwise I’d jump at the chance!

Cons

Less room for advancement/career opportunities if you are in a branch overseas. (Understandable though)

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.
