Pros

Good Benefits and 401K Plan

Cons

Nepotism is hitting the sky. Forget about career growth and promotions. Stay away from FHLBC’s MCS (Member Credit Service) department, horrible and incompetent management. They have no respect whatsoever for people working under them. Low pay as compare to market. No work life balance. Very stressful environment.

We are disappointed to hear that your experience is not a positive one with FHLBank Chicago. In Bank-wide employee surveys conducted over the past two years 92% of respondents agreed that they are supported by their manager, 95% agreed that the work they do makes a difference at the Bank and 83% reported that they are treated with respect, regardless of their hierarchical level. We encourage employees if their experiences do not align, or they have a specific concern, to speak to their HR Business Partner. We value all of our employees and want everyone to have a successful and balanced work life in support of our mission and our members.

Pros

I enjoy my job, work with wonderful people, and feel valued at work. The office is nice. Happy with the benefits and events at work.

Cons

My experience has differed from many recent negative reviews - the company is pretty siloed, and culture seems to vary significantly across departments. I agree with the previous reviews about HR being hostile.
