Pros

Benefits if you don't have a family and staff.

Cons

Executive team is lead by a negative leader. He is pretty much a tyrant. He is agrssive negative and doesn't respect front managers. The SVP/branches is afraid to stick up to him. The executive leader is unaware of what's happening in the company and micromanages many things that CEOs don't normally get involved in. As a leader are not able to make decisions to Run your own business or dept and they don't take your advice. CEO doesn't acknowledge his mistakes and blames others when things go wrong. You are told how to fill out internal surveys and if your truthful you get s low review score and are marked as disengaged.

Pros

Giving back to our community through my work makes me feel wonderful. Leaders are very honest and open about the work and expectations. Work Life balance for most employees is a big win. Benefits are great and even with increases costs RCU has absorbed those costs and make sure team members do not get hit with those costs. Reviews are 2 times a year which gives employees a chance for bonuses twice a year. (And raises twice a year for hourly employees)

Cons

Sometimes takes a long time to make a decision on hiring We are too big for the approval process in place today. Need to build a structure where not every promotion or movement of staff needs CEO approval. Lower pay than private sector but also a pro because we give back so much to our community.
