Promised pay & diverse employee demographics. Base pay went up $3 upon merging & changing from Hiway CU to Blaze CU. Insurances were cheap prior to merge (unsure of current policy changes)
Cons
Teller department's in general is equivalent to working in fast food, just more confidentiality and professional presentation.

We appreciate your candid feedback about your time with Blaze. We are proud to offer Blaze associates best-in-class benefits post-merger. We will share your experience with our leadership team. Thank you!
Collaboration with entire mortgage team
No micromanaging, able to work independently.
Decent pay and bonus
Appropriate amount of work with opportunity for overtime
Generous benefits that support employee health. Considerate managers and close knit teams. Fun holiday outings and generous quarterly goals paid out to the entire company.
Cons
You have to remain in your hired position for one full year before you are ever considered to be a worthy candidate for an internal position even if you would be a superior applicant for another role Blaze is hiring for. If you start in customer service good luck ever getting out of it unless that is what you want. There are rigid requirements on upward mobility and even if you prove yourself you will have to wait. If you ever thought working remotely at Blaze would be an option, there are employees who work remotely in admin that are being pushed out, the company is slowly pushing employees back into office.
