Pros

A little background up front.....I had worked for a large financial institution for 20 years when I was approached to apply at First Tech. I always thought I would stay with that company until retirement. I was intrigued based on the level of excitement and commitment that was conveyed by every current employee of First Tech that I conversed with. Since joining the First Tech team I am constantly inspired by the Leadership, peers and my employees. We are forward thinking and innovative but still balanced by letting our members decide how they want to bank. Excellent credit union with great pay, benefits and work-life balance. The culture is incredible with a corporate team that are truly approachable! First Tech is the place to be if you want to make a difference in members lives, be part of an organization that listens to you when you speak and a place that actively develops employees for advancement!

Cons

Be open minded when learning multiple computer systems:)

Pros

Work/Life Balance, Growth, Continuing Education, Paid Volunteer. Various others to mention. Management does try to keep staff motivated and reaching for goals.

Cons

Bottom of market compensation. Questionable leadership at times. Some groups are paid at market but only those who are making the credit union more money. If you are keeping the company running, bottom of market salary is fine for you according to HR.

Pros

Amazing CEO, truly cares about employees more than profits.

Cons

Terrible middle management, poor oversight from VP level staff. HR is a joke, especially the HR managers. They really could care less about you as a person. Poor systems in place for career advancement. Unfortunately, the technology is severely lacking too. Pay was very low based on the number of direct reports I had. Big imbalance in pay from managers with direct reports and those without. They actually pay you more if you are an analyst without any direct reports.

I'm sorry that your overall experience with HR was poor, we definitely want our employee interactions with the HR team to be positive. We made pay grades available for all employees to view towards the end of 2014. We continue to regularly evaluate roles to ensure leveling is in line with both our overall compensation philosophy as well as competitive to ensure we are able to both attract and retain top talent. Thanks for your feedback!
