Nothing all that special and potentially quite awful - Back Office OnPoint Community CU Employee Review

Pros

OnPoint has great benefits, it is the standard in credit unions. 401k matching is better, however OnPoint is notorious for paying significantly less (20-40% less) than other financial institutions for back office (think bachelor degree required) jobs. Branch salaries are comparable elsewhere. Culture can be great depending what group you’re in, or completely toxic. I worked here nearly a decade and learned its commonplace for manipulative and tone deaf managers to gaslight employees about their concerns and complaints. OnPoint has some of the best people I’ve worked for, and a lot of the worst. If you start here I suggest you go in with the idea that it’s temporary, and keep looking for a higher paying job that holds its department managers accountable.

Cons

See above, and look elsewhere for employment if you value your time.

Pros

Excellent HR internship with welcoming, knowledgeable mentors. The HR department and leadership were genuinely kind and set a strong example of how to support emerging professionals—encouraging growth, confidence, and curiosity rather than viewing inexperience as a weakness. Gained hands-on, real-world experience and insight into nonprofit and corporate environments, including using HRIS systems like Dayforce and pre-hire/onboarding tools such as Sterling.

Cons

Limited number of HR openings

Pros

Excellent benefits package, acceptable pay for position in Portland area, and strong products and services to refer to consumers. Highly recommend to folks looking to start in the banking industry. It's not all glitz and glamour, but it is a strong foundational starting point if you're looking to pursue a career in Retail Banking/Finance Industry. OnPoint is such a strong financial institution in terms of net revenue for corresponding credit unions in the area so there is no fear of the institution to fail anytime soon.

Cons

Strict compliance standards, rotating Saturday shifts, occasional burnout due to high workload, and the requirement of a sales backbone in order to survive the industry.
