Golden 1 Credit Union reviews

Golden 1 is an organization run by leadership that is culturally incapable of listening. As an analyst, I understand that the purpose of analytics at Golden 1 is to support decisions that have already been made. Leaders have no real interest in analytics, and it shows. When I expressly laid out exactly why Golden 1 was about to lose all of their top analysts due to the return to office, it fell on deaf ears. It fell on deaf ears when Dustin was told that my mother was dying of cancer and I needed to work from home to support her. It fell on deaf ears whenever we raised issues on how horrifically mispriced our auto portfolio is. Leadership did not even alert credit risk to the plans of contracting with a third party to remake underwriting policy. That is how little concern for analytics they have. The criteria for success at Golden 1 is loyalty, not excellence. Golden 1 will continuously fail at building analytics in the org, and when they find themselves stuck with a data warehouse that they have spent millions of dollars on with nobody around to understand or use it, they will point fingers at IT and the analytics groups wondering why. For my part, myself and my team did everything in our power to tear down road blocks and build an analytics community at Golden 1. It was a wasted effort. If you want to make the median salary for your role, never think of work outside of work hours, and do sub-standard work until you retire, Golden 1 is your company. Otherwise, if you are an analyst, steer clear.

The executives are filled with "geometric angles." See what I did there? Many senior executives lack intellectual curiosity, or are just plain lazy, if they are not interested in the departments they are in charge of. The culture, mission statement, and corporate directives lack sincerity and transparency. The executives are afraid to disagree with the CEO, and the CEO is more interested in appearance than substance. I found that it is better to be favored than competent at the Credit Union. This is a consistent theme and a top to bottom problem. Many departments pass the buck - they do not take responsibility for work, and look to punt whenever they can. The departments most notorious for this are the "favored." They pass the buck then take credit for providing "solutions." The competent do the work so as not to pass the member along In more than twelve years of employment, I had seven bosses and was tossed around like a dirty sponge. Only two of my bosses were worthy of their position, the first left within two months and the second just over a year.
