Msr complaining about making 13-15hr get a life that's above average dumb dumbs, big banks pay 12 to 15 Hr and guess what 1 teller or PB does your job blindfolded . It's about time you were all put in your place and Yelp reviews what is it your crap is on blast.. Get it our get OUT.. P.S. Trust us the educated, dedicated and the believers of the new Patelco don't give a crap what you all think.. Go ahead put a muzzle on it and the door is waiting for YOU... - Branch Supervisor Patelco Credit Union Employee Review

Pros

Their vision and mission are great and Patelco is really about helping members, however the work life balance is horrible.

Cons

Work–life balance is essentially nonexistent under the current PTO structure. The system is outdated and unrealistic. Staff are required to submit all time‑off requests at the end of the year, as if everyone can plan their personal lives twelve months in advance. Each region can be more than ten branches, yet only three employees are allowed to be off at any given time. If you need time off and those three slots are already filled, your request is automatically denied. Because branches are expected to cover one another for vacations, call‑outs, and general staffing gaps, PTO is restricted to protect coverage rather than support employees. This approach prioritizes administrative convenience over real people with real, unpredictable lives. It is built around coverage, not humanity, and work–life balance becomes collateral damage. Leadership repeatedly emphasizes that “business needs come first,” but for a company centered on helping people, you would expect a stronger commitment to supporting the well‑being of its own staff.
