Pros

The credit union really cares for their staff. Flexibility to work from home in some departments. Super friendly environment. In my position I feel encourage to think outside of the box and get creative. Very understanding of family needs (such as needing to take time off due to sick kids, etc.). Monthly one-on-one meetings with supervisor are nice. Annual incentive.

Cons

Raises are only given once a year, and typically end up being less than $1.00. Raises can be given outside of the annual review, but that hardly ever happens. There's not a ton of opportunity for advancement.

Thanks so much for the positive review and candid feedback. It’s great to hear that you are encouraged to be creative in your role; we know our best ideas often come directly from employees. Supporting our employees and providing flexibility, where possible, to meet their personal and family needs is a huge priority and we’re delighted that you’ve experienced this first hand. We appreciate your honesty and candor regarding raises. WSECU currently uses a formal evaluation process to determine annual pay increases. In cases where an employee is found to be underpaid, we review annually to bring them up to market. That said, it’s important to consider the total compensation package for employees. WSECU’s pay is competitive to the local market; we offer multiple medical plans, one of which is currently 100% paid by WSECU (this includes dependents for full time employees). Our leave is incredibly generous; you earn about 3.5 weeks of general leave in your first year and this is separate from your sick leave—wow! Additionally, WSECU may contribute 8.5% to your retirement plan. As a staff employee, you may also be eligible to earn up to 10% of your year-to-date as an incentive bonus. We feel pretty confident that taken together, our compensation package is competitive.

We appreciate your feedback! The people here are amazing and we work hard to provide those amazing folks with a great work environment, including exceptional benefits (8.5% retirement plan contribution, anybody?), growth opportunities and competitive pay. We’re bummed to hear that you’re not a fan of the dress code! Our dress code is intended to make our members feel comfortable and engender trust. That said, it is a business casual dress code with the option to wear jeans on Fridays, so definitely not the suit and tie kind of dress code that some folks might be used to. We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on what about the dress code is bothersome. Feel free to reach out to us directly to discuss this: 1-800-562-0999 x 11111.

Pros

WSECU has too many pro's to list. Here are a few of the benefits that as a 15+ year employee feels; In branch work environment is fun, supportive and positive We are allowed to be creative, make decisions and collaborate with our team and manager The benefits for full time are great to include; generous paid time off, holiday perks, and unbeatable 401k The CEO and Board of Directors truly cares for the employees and their work/life balance~ we didn't have a lay-off during the economic downturn of 2008 when every other financial institution was closing/downsizing or merging Where else would you get to have fun, learn to be a better employee and feel completely supported with your job?

Cons

One of the few things is that could be considered a "con" is just that the positions of Leads or above are coveted because people stay in them for a long time. They don't come up often and there are a lot of people working to gain these titles and that are ready for the roles, but limited positions.

We truly appreciate the time you took to leave us a review. After more than 15 years of service, you definitely offer a valuable perspective. We’re very proud of the benefits that we offer and we definitely strive to create a supportive, stable environment, even during tough times, like the economic downturn you noted. We do hear from our Member Consultants that those lead positions are hard to get—you hit the nail on the head: they are limited relative to the number of branches. They do come open, it can just take longer for front office employees to progress. That said, for folks that are open to coming to the back office, there are dozens of departments and numerous roles to explore.
