Pros

lots of great people to work with, great mortgage discount. you have the freedom to work on side projects. if you have the right skill set you many other departments will ask for your help. this can be a burden sometime pending workload.

Cons

not a long term place, they have trouble keeping top talent. many of the managers don't think though all aspects of a project, which causes problems. managers are not tech savy... they have trouble with excel. you will learn about the lending but learning other new skills wont happen. not focused on building for long term growth. its ironic that the members its services are tech based, and there operations is one step up from paper and pencil. salaries are very low and not market driven.

Top heavy management/poor supervision

Pros

Rank and file are great; supervisor/managers, not so much. Customer driven. The employees work hard, despite poor supervision, to keep members happy.

Cons

Poor supervision, not to mention some pretty clear favoritism. I was terminated after thirteen years, (ironically having received a performance raise just a few months prior) with no consideration as to how information I depended upon from other departments affected my ability to perform my duties. The company is ridiculously top-heavy, (FOUR vice presidents at the time of my termination,) and my supervision was sketchy, at best. First Tech, when I started, was one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon; they lost that distinction a long time ago. The company used to offer 401K and pension, a company Christmas party and occasional barbeques in the summer; those are now gone, and a culture of paranoia has developed within the rank and file.

First Tech has provided me with a wealth of knowlege and helped me grow in my career

Pros

Open, collaborative environment. Just finished a team SWOT analysis where we could all be very honest and work to make our processes and approaches more efficient and productive. I feel empowered, to care and create an environment that is beneficial to both members and staff. I feel like I have a voice and can make a difference. I have been provided the oppotunities to grow professionally. I love knowing i work for a very stable and strong company.

Cons

Honestly I don't have many cons. I have been with First Tech for 17 years. If i was forced to pick something it would be that the cubicle walls are too short and I believe we are in the process of fixing that now. :) I love our community service culture and my supervisors open and honest communication style. When we face change First Tech works hard to take employees into consideration.
