Pros

UFCU is the largest financial institution in Austin, TX. It is also closely affiliated with the University of Texas and has a contract for many of the ATMs on campus.

Cons

A couple of years ago, the CEO stepped down and handed the reigns of power to the CFO, Yung Truan, he had been grooming for a decade or more to take over. This new CEO is smart and very cunning when it comes to making more money and cutting labor costs and other expenses that don't improve the numbers. The only grievance I have is how the "soul of UFCU" was gutted as soon as the new CEO took over. Although the core values were still posted everywhere, there was this feeling that only the hollow shell of it still existed as a propaganda ploy rather than the true spirit that it once was with Tony Budet at the helm. It would be in poor taste to get to specific with all the examples, but please understand what you are walking into if you decide to work at UFCU. I personally had several occasions as a senior leader within the organization to witness Yung Tran's lack of integrity and dishonest dealings. Folks, UFCU is literally rotten to the core.

Pros

Talented, dedicated professionals working together. Great benefits, competitive pay. No environment is perfect but I always felt we tried to do the right thing for the members and employees.

Cons

Substantial growth lead to less of a credit union feel and more of a bank feel as years went on. Probably inevitable but not happy to witness. Some technology moves seemed questionable
