Employee & witness to the demise of a formerly wonderful company
Pros
Patelco offers a great benefit package to their employees. Most former peers were honest, hardworking and trustworthy people trying to earn a living for their families. People seem to genuinely care for one another.
Cons
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.
