Pros

* Friendly people *There are plenty of opportunities to make a difference. *Pay is relatively competitive.

Cons

*The wonderful "culture" is talked about all the time, but it happens in silos. *Senior leaders act friendly, but don't turn your back.... *Executives speak of wonderful stories of how members were helped. We didn't hear about failures of how we lost members and how to focus strategy on the things that matter. *Executives are really "old school". How you dress matters more than what you accomplish. *If you are seeking a company that wants to make business processes and systems better, UFCU will frustrate you.

Pros

Good Leadership, Clear Company Vision, Common Goal within organization. Good incentive, Great Benefits. Well respected organization in the area. GREAT communication from CEO!

Cons

Some processes needed to be upgraded, or just focused on. Busy teller branches often carried the load, and were not compensated for that. You could transfer to a slow branch and get the same pay for less work.

Pros

Credit union movement is genuinely concerned with helping consumers; their heart is in the right place...however...

Cons

Senior management is clueless as to what motivates employees. It's a "let them eat cake" mentality. Completely inept "Chief" Marketing Officer has an extraordinarily large inferiority complex that masks itself as machismo; the Chief HR Officer is only interested in building her internal empire--no leadership skills whatsoever. Both have lost significant employees over the last year due to their lack of ability to lead. CEO is genuinely a nice person, but he refuses to listen to anyone--only his ideas are the good ones. They're WAY behind on product innovation and only really seem to be interested in naming stadiums and not making a difference in the communities they serve.
