Pros

Good benefits, holidays- just like any banking job

Cons

Cult-like culture in the organization All or nothing mentality- management does not want you to have a life outside of work and does not respect work life balance. Unobtainable goals set and constant micro managing of staff by supervisors. Virtually zero training- hands on- no training manuals or standards Highly toxic environment, employees unhappy and poorly compensated for their contributions and time given to the company. Mentality is quickly turning into a corporate giant bank- CEO and related VP’s trash talk other smaller local banks in the area. Thinks they are the “best” and so concerned with winning 1st in everything at the expense of the happiness of their employees. It’s great to be first, but make sure your employees are enjoying their time and doing okay. Many are concerned and stressed about losing their jobs monthly due to the unrealistic expectations. Lots of favoritism. If management decides they don’t like you, good luck.

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.
