Pros

Dedicated, passionate colleagues. Discounted auto/mortgage/consumer loans. Some learning opportunities for people new to the workforce.

Cons

Impossible expectations with little structure or strategies in place to help employees succeed. Inexperienced middle and senior management. Poor time management and excessive meeting structures. Incredibly dated systems and processes which create an abundance of unnecessary busy work. Corporate culture is cult-like and incredibly oppressive for anyone who doesn't buy-in to the Stepford based ideals. Many projects are outsourced at exorbitant rates due to the inability to manage projects in-house. The concept of proper project scoping does not exist at RCU, and unfortunately results in high burnout rates as employees are constantly striving to meet impossible, never ending deadlines.

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.
