Pros

Going to work each day felt like going to see extended family members that you really like and care about. Yes there were days that felt overwhelming but most of the time it was pretty chill. Most everyone on my team was great to work with. Most of leadership really cared about the teams they ran and tried to push for positive attitudes each and everyday. Catered lunches happened here and there as rewards and for things that required all hands on deck, it was a nice perk. Having the opportunity to sit with the CEO and chat with a small group of my peers about the future of the CU was pretty cool. Every year the CU put on a conference "AFG" with guest speakers and to give insight of the direction of the CU for the next year. My direct leadership was pretty awesome. Overall It was a great place to work, but it just wasn't the right place for me.

Cons

Hourly pay could have been better, but the incentive pay help supplement what was missing. Dealing with members when interest rates sky rocket can be hard too. Having to explain to members that the auto dealer do not work for the CU and that the CU have guidelines to lending on vehicles can be a challenge when a person is wanting to lower their monthly payment or APR. waking up early for meetings when they could have happened at the end of the day.

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.
