Great company, bad pay

Pros

-4 weeks PTO -ethical organization to work for -great benefits

Cons

-no sick leave, any time you take off due to sickness is counted against your attendance -sales goals are not achievable except by the select few who will get the "right" member to get more loans -working Saturday's -not enough staff, there is always a 30-60 minute wait daily -high turnover -very poor pay -unless you have prior experience, it seems almost impossible to advance to a different position

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of locations to work at and pretty good health insurance (for single people with no dependents).

Cons

Compensation is horrible and when the cost of living is increasing the pay does not. Does not work with individuals that move far from their current location and helping them get a position close to home. The hours on the front line does not work well with an individual whom has children in daycare and doesn't care that a parent can't keep their child in daycare for more than 10 hours a day. If a person wants to transfer HR doesn't help or listen to their employees in regards to their needs. Instead they would rather lose good hardworking employees (high turn-over rate) and hire individuals that don't have experience or care what image they bring to the CU. I have seen retaliation and discrimination towards employees that stand up for themselves or bring attention to an issue.

Pros

Great benefits, culture and much better than working at for profit bank.

Cons

Pay not as competitive as banks. Managers spend a large amount of their time working with members. Not familiar with new CEO as I left prior to him joining.
