Pros

- I believe the pay was better than other financial institutions, but not significantly. - Good branch managers - Discounts were decent - I heard from coworkers that corporate life was nice but the managers weren't that great - They push for growth and development more than others

Cons

- Development opportunities are not the best - Expectations and long term goals change too often - They don't listen to their members - CEO is...different - Branch life morale is low - The whole family thing was weird. I realized we weren't "family" when we couldn't get a simple car loan approved. Then we got an approval at another Colorado CU for the lowest rate possible. -Pay was lower than other opportunities and the raises are discouraging. I left for a 30% increase in my pay

Canvas strives to be a market leader in compensation. Our goal is to ensure fair compensation for all employees. As for discounts, we’re pleased you found them decent.

We value continuous learning and encourage employees to take initiative in growing their careers here at Canvas. We understand that shifting goals can be unsettling, however it’s important that we’re able to pivot to market trends and changing business cycles, which can result in goals changing at times.

Regarding branch life, we’re committed to creating a supportive atmosphere, and are actively gathering feedback and implementing new work initiatives based on the feedback we receive.

Pros

The compensation is the only genuinely positive aspect of this position.

Cons

Nonexistent Training: You are set up to fail from the start with a complete lack of proper training and ongoing leadership support. Management Dodges Work: Managers actively avoid doing their jobs. They will outright refuse to take escalation calls, leaving frontline staff to fend for themselves. Unexplained Discipline: Leadership hands out write-ups with absolutely zero explanation or constructive feedback, creating an environment of anxiety and confusion. Toxic Culture: Internal teams openly disrespect one another, creating a completely dysfunctional and frustrating day-to-day dynamic. Customer Frustration: Due to complete lack of hard turn times here members will basically be spam calling you as processing drops the ball constantly, and underwriting can’t make a sound decision to save their lives.
