Pros

- Base pay is above average. - Best training I've had, trainers very committed to helping you succeed. - Good benefits (healthcare, paid sick and vacation time, holidays off, paid training, 401k profit sharing, free gym at main office, discounts on loans for employees, etc.) - Call Center is helpful, both as a member and employee. They are always nice when I call. - Building I work in is nice, Facilities team is always quick to repair anything not working.

Cons

- Feels like we're stuck in the 90s. Outdated website, mobile app, etc. makes it hard to engage more savvy members. Had to fill out paper job application and fax (!) it in on top of completing one online. - Culture is kinda bland. No company events, no networking opportunities with other workgroups, dress code is restrictive. - IT department is tough to work with. Everything is made more challenging than it needs to be. Why lock down everything? Do you not trust your employees? - HR department is ironically least "human" part of the business. Orientation was boring and full of paperwork. Not a good first impression. Hard to get helpful answers...always make me feel like I'm bothering them.

Pros

- Supportive coworkers who made the work environment more enjoyable. - Opportunities for continuous education and professional development.

Cons

- Compensation did not align with workload, with minimal raises and limited financial recognition for tenure. - Executive leadership often appeared disconnected from frontline operations. Interactions with staff were frequently perceived as dismissive or condescending. (Shirley Shoemaker & Kevin Dougherty) - Policies were enforced inconsistently, sometimes undermining employees in front of members. - PTO was restricted during holidays for most staff, while leadership had greater flexibility. - Employee feedback was not always received openly, with some actions creating a perception of retaliation. Often by “promoting” individuals to branches on the opposite side of town. - Pressure to meet sales goals conflicted with the company’s “members first” messaging. - Employees were strongly encouraged to participate in “best of” voting, raising concerns about authenticity. - Safety concerns were not always handled with urgency. In one instance, after being threatened by a customer and contacting the risk team, the response was minimal, which left me feeling unsupported.
