Great work/life balance and hard workers go far

Pros

BECU is a great company to work for. Great benefits, remote work available and they really encourage work/life balance. People who work at BECU work there for a long time. It's a great working environment and employees are very friendly. Promoting from within is encouraged. I think the pay is pretty fair and on par with other employers in the area

Cons

The main headquarters (back office jobs) are in Tukwila, which isn't really close to anywhere.

Great culture, Poor pay

Business Outlook

Pros

Generous PTO, 100% employer paid insurance premium, fun corporate culture

Cons

Member consultants are expected to wear many hats. From mortgage applications to IRAs, this role involves intensive training and experience. Retention is an issue because member consultants can leave and do less and get paid more with competitors. I love my team and managers but that's the only reason I stay. Sales goals are not that difficult, longtime employees tend to complain about them and make no effort to perform better. Top performers receive a slightly higher annual bonus than those who don't meet annual goals, since a good portion of payout is based on division and credit union goals.

Don't be fooled, it's really a bank

Pros

great benefits and high level executives really do want the best for staff

Cons

They promise more then they intend to deliver. Management tends to give poor reviews so they don't have to pay bonuses. Everything comes back to sales numbers. ALL they care about is selling. If you want to do well suck up and rub elbows. Be careful, most people are trying to climb and will take you down if necessary. 70% of the staff are from banks. They talk about work life balance but no delivery.
