Pros

The PTO was nice and the pay was decent as long as you'd been there for several years. The members were great and understanding.

Cons

New, unsupportive management. Sales, sales, sales (anyone remember what happened to Wells Fargo? Same culture here!) Upper management can't decide on what product/service/style they want and are continuously changing. Change is a good thing, but the employees are left scrambling all the time. CEO continues to drill into his employees' heads to "seek excellence elsewhere" if they have anything to say that isn't what he wants to hear (i.e. constructive criticism based on MEMBER complaints and reviews...not employees). Insane amount of responsibilities placed on frontline staff that no institution has, and the same staff are forced to do things the old fashioned way (keep paper files, etc) resulting in being weighted down...and the same employees are reprimanded if they have even 15 minutes of overtime even if it's because a member walked in late and kept them over. Every day it's a lose-lose situation and your hair will literally start to fall out from stress and anxiety. Oh, and they have uniforms. I've never cared about wearing uniforms or not (sometimes it does help for a more polished look), but one style does not fit all. If you're a bigger person, you are literally going to look like a bag of lumpy crap next to something thinner wearing the same shirt.

Pros

Credit union as a whole tries to create a good work environment, Benefits are good and 401k match was 8%

Cons

Extremely poor pay for amount of responsibility and risk. Most other departments had pay bands widened but ours stayed the same. Constant fighting between management in collections department. Extremely unprofessional upper management with continuous bullying of supervisors. Large Overlap between supervisors and managers duties with poor delegation of tasks between them. Huge difference in roles for individual contributors that are all the same pay grade. Extremely poor performers are not held accountable, some are terminated but others continue to create large amounts of extra work for others. The amount of workplace drama that is allowed is appalling and is caused by 2-3 employees that contribute little to nothing to the department. 4-5 employees went to hr about these issues and management immediately retaliated against this, everyone was automatically in trouble for something or another. Hr agreed with absolutely everything I brought up, but there was little that could be done without escalating this higher within hr. It really seemed like nothing would change. I left voluntarily and relocated out of state.
