Pros

Management and coworkers are great. My day to day job is good. Generally goals are reasonable to achieve and the open door policy is real. I feel comfortable talking to all levels of management including the CEO.

Cons

The human resources department is difficult to work with and seems to lack communication skills. The pay is too low based on the market and size of the credit union.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and it’s great to hear that you enjoy your work, your coworkers and management, and the overall culture at WSECU. We strive to provide a comprehensive compensation and benefits package that supports employees in all aspects of their lives. We’re sorry to hear you’re not happy with the compensation. We monitor the market and employment trends and consult external compensation experts to help us provide competitive pay, making adjustments when needed. Just recently following an outside annual salary review in 2022, we adjusted upward nearly all employees’ compensation to align with the new market realities and our organization size. In addition, we chose to go above the consultant’s recommended percentage increase, because we felt so strongly we wanted to recognize the work of our outstanding current team and to be well prepared to compete for new talent. Lastly, it sounds like we may be missing the mark in our HR department in terms of communication, and we would be interested in hearing more. If you are comfortable having a conversation about this, we encourage you to reach out to People & Culture Services, or you can also submit feedback anonymously via HearU.

Pros

Great people Great benefits Great work life balance Walks the walk when it comes to values

Cons

The thing that's hardest about working here is seeing many talented and passionate engineers leave after a few years. It's just not a place that as a track record of developing talent. There are a few engineers who are able to develop but for the most part there are many who want to stay but can't because they aren't developing technically. Senior management tries but a lot times it feels like floundering or a lack of understanding of the skillsets of their engineers. People are hired into management who have never performed the job (or even a job related to) the people they are overseeing. Very top-down approach to management and a "get in or get out" attitude Slightly below average salary

We appreciate this valuable feedback. We’re so happy that you’re enjoying many aspects of working at WSECU, such as your coworkers, benefits, and our commitment to our company values. One of those values is the importance of professional development, so that our employees can gain the skills and experience to continue on their chosen career path, whatever that may be. We love to see our employees move up the ranks at WSECU, and it happens often! However, it sounds like we may be missing the mark in our IT department, and we would be interested in hearing more. If you are comfortable having a conversation about this, we encourage you to reach out to People & Culture Services at 800.562.0999 x10374.

Pros

A great history of a people-honoring culture.

Cons

COVID responses have seemed to deteriorate culture. Culture now seems to be more focused on the where (in-person vs. remote) than the how.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We’re very proud of our culture that puts our employees and members first, and we’re glad that you agree. This past year has taught us the value of a larger remote workforce and, in an effort to balance that with our belief that we are stronger together, we are exploring a hybrid remote structure for back office positions. You’re right though that the “where” is only part of the equation. We strive to preserve the workplace culture that is so special to us in this ever-changing environment. Leadership is working hard to keep our team members feeling connected and supported, and we are continuing to assess, solicit feedback, and adapt in a timely but thoughtful manner.
