Pros

They do have great benefits and loan percentage reduction on loans, if you choose to take advantage of that.

Cons

Management is horrible, nepotism is 100% real at all branches. Worked past 6 pm, had to volunteer on my weekends-there was no way out of it, 90% of my time went to Canvas, as my only real day off was Sunday. Management micromanages team and there is no feel of culture. Pay is below average for all the work done. I couldn’t move up in the company because I need a managers approval, which they always denied. Management claims they want to “help people” when I have spoken to manager directly about how a certain loan is putting members in bad financial picture. Management only cares about hitting loan production goals.

Thank you for your feedback, we are happy to hear you appreciate the benefits we offer our employees. We regularly seek feedback from our employees, which allows us to offer richer and more impactful benefits for our Canvas family. We’re sorry to hear you didn’t like the culture, however we are honored to have been voted a Great Place To Work by our Canvas family for the fourth year in a row, which we believe speaks to the positive culture at Canvas. We are always striving to get better, but appreciate that the majority of our Canvas family feel this is a Great Place to Work. As a credit union, we serve our communities and members, which does require being available when our members need us, which is why our branches operate Monday-Saturday, with shortened hours on Saturday. We feel it’s important to give back to the communities we serve, which is why each Canvas employee is given 12 paid volunteer hours each year. We believe we have a special work environment at Canvas, and we welcome employee’s family members to work here in most cases. However, we do ensure there aren’t any direct reporting conflicts of interest throughout the organization. We regularly review our products and services to ensure we are offering our members the best options for their personal situations. We wish you the best in your next career endeavor.

Pros

Great coworkers and decent benefits. It's nice not to work Sundays and get off no later than 7 every night.

Cons

The incompetency of every manager I've encountered is mind-boggling. They have all displayed blatant favoritism in the branches, and the whole company has a very "clique" vibe to it. Upper management is extremely sales-pushy and micro-manages everyone. They constantly scoff at banks for force-feeding products to people, while they have the highest loan goal (and lowest compensation) I've ever seen in my 5 year career in the finance world. Run as fast and as far away as you can from this place.
