Patelco Credit Union reviews

Management has significantly brought down morale. Employees are left guessing which direction the company is going in. One year it's about numbers and sales, the next year it's a new CEO and numbers don't matter. New leadership methods are imposed on managers and supervisors who greatly lack in proper training themselves. Branches, departments and the call center is extremely understaffed and employees are forced to work odd schedules with no consistency. Employees are micro managed by unexperienced supervisors that are thrown into their positions with no leadership skills or training. The atmosphere is pure intimidation and regular employees do not have a voice.

The CEO Leads with fear and intimidation. She has not yet figured out how to lead a team. Instead, the management tactic she employed was to fire or force out anyone she perceived as not on her team, i.e. there before she was hired. Once she realized that the "off with their heads" strategy was resulting in a lot of potential lawsuits, tactics changed. They seem to have stopped firing people and just made the place so unbearable that anyone who worked there before the new CEO arrived would quit. See the steady stream of departing "team members"...That said, the pay is good when you're higher up, so people hang on to the jobs they have. Work /life balance is a joke. It all depends who you work for, and what level you're at. Too many fire drills. Too many failed attempts at launching projects. Everything is late or worse, launches before it's ready because someone promised a date and then was too afraid to admit to the CEO the problems encountered along the way. So many new people that no one knows how to do anything. Those of us still here end up patching things together just to keep the lights on. Some managers that are left are good and treat you right. They manage to shield you from the stuff going on above so you can actually do what you were hired to do. Others just pass the craziness on down the line. Anyone with a brain is looking, and that's why there are so many openings.
