Desert Financial Credit Union reviews

If you want out of front-line banking, there are not many opportunities to move into back office roles. Or, once in a back office role, little training or development available for you.

Several years back they stopped being a credit union and became more like a bank. The atmosphere is competing with other national big banks out there. You never hear them compare us to other credit unions in the state. Well except for Navy Federal credit union and USAA are now here in AZ and on the managements radar. Over half the technology used is over a decade old. People refuse to change to newer technologies, the famous line is "we have always done it this way" which seems to be the motto. Several years ago the core banking system was changed but then modified to act like the system they replaced. Updates to the new system now takes weeks to implement because of how heavily the modifications were made. Senior management is large and has been there for a long time. No one moves up without someone retiring or dieing.
