Pros

Canvas seems to be aware of some of its shortcomings (department silos, lack of communication, territorialism) and is working on improving some of those aspects. There are a lot of really kind and genuine people who work there.

Cons

The corporate culture that they advertise is not what you actually experience unless you work in a department that upper management loves. Compensation is not as good as it could be when compared to the industry standards for credit unions. There is a feeling that if you don't "buy in" to the culture completely that you don't belong there, no matter how hard you work.

Pros

There's not much you can say good about this company.

Cons

The pay is no where near other institutions with same job descriptions. The benefits are sub-par The incentive plan for the FSC's is great, all other positions, management, tellers, etc are CRAP. The goals of this company are un-obtainable, they are a credit union that has turned into a BANK. Their main goal is SALES SALES SALES. They say they have a heart for member service, employee relations, yet they don't. Its nearly impossible to advance within the company unless you are a brownnoser and kiss the upper management butts. They make salaried employees work 6 days a week, with no days off, no comp days, sometimes no lunches. They said "that's the Con's of being in management/salaried position, yet the management leaves early, takes super long lunches. They say they want to help their employees, train, coach and development,but one minor thing happens and they write you up, put you on notice, make your life living hell and force you out the doors.
