Pros

Benefits package, onboarding, ability to work at other locations

Cons

Initial onboarding and training is engaging and innovative, however this is inconsistent when you make it to your branch. You will not be given the support you think you will and you'll find that they are more likely going to set you up for failure. Notifying HR will not always prove helpful as managers could retaliate. Management at certain locations is incredibly poor and unprofessional. Employees are allowed to and at most times encouraged to solicit for companies outside the credit union while on the clock. There is no open door policy with certain managers and they will not hear any concerns or questions you may have. They will make every concern feel invalidated and shrugged off. Most branch updates are on a need to know basis as there is minimal if any communication. This includes available positions (staff updates). Policies are outdated and written to screw you over more than they are there to incentivize you. Coworkers form cliques that make you feel as if you're back in high school unless you bend to their level. Don't bend to their level. Be the better person. Lack of respect and job knowledge is prevalent among most. NECU prides itself on having core values: SASS- Service, Accountability, Sense of Urgency, Selflessness TIRE- Teamwork, Integrity, Respect, Excellence They tell you these values and service standards until they're blue in the face and it makes you feel good that this is what they're about. Unfortunately, you can say the words all you want... Unless you actually follow them, your words mean absolutely nothing.

Pros

The individuals you get to work with every day are truly amazing. Continuing education is important to the organization, as is comp and benefits.

Cons

While the individuals are amazing, senior management, including the CEO, are completely out of touch with what's happening in the organization. Unfortunately, important decisions like laying off several team members on multiple occasions. are being made by those same aloof individuals.

Pros

I enjoyed working with members of my team, non-leadership level.

Cons

In my years with the company, I had well over 5 managers and little to no consistency. Leadership levels, titles, departments were constantly changing, to the point that at times we wouldn't know who to go to with questions. Long term employees with a high level of historical knowledge were all let go in one swoop, leaving people without knowledgeable leaders. Team members gather each year to learn what's on the road map for next year. Transparency and communication are touted, but then never thought of or mentioned again. Growth development of team members is only given to those that Sr. Leadership deems worthy. Watch out if you aren't in that group, you'll be "managed out". This is not the same credit union i joined years ago. It's being run in to the ground while the top just keeps focusing on growing.
