Great Company!

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, inclusive and inviting culture, good PTO, reasonable health benefits, great that they have 401k and pension (vested at 5 years), opportunities for growth, happy environment, great training/onboarding, great member benefits/products you can believe in that make it easy to offer to members.

Cons

Outdated systems, fast growing membership base-but not expanding branches/atms quick enough to keep up. Poor paternity/maternity leave (just the normal short term disability for 6 weeks which is 60% of normal pay and then FMLA-only paid if you have PTO to use)

Pros

Nothing is good about working here... the pay is on par with any other bank or slightly lower.

Cons

They don't follow their own policies, the people are shady, hr won't help you, they play favorites to no end, conversations with management are required to be off the record at all times meaning no recorded phone calls, no emails, etc. Just not a good place to work for a moral person. No room for growth. They literally tell you go to elsewhere, get more experience, and then come back. Save your time and don't work here.
