Pros

Location is great with plenty of food and shopping choices nearby. Weather is always nice in this area of the South Bay.

Cons

This organization and its CEO rank lower than B of A and Wells Fargo, and markedly lower than other credit unions. Leadership is still weak and there is little effort on helping people get better --- it's easier to fire them instead, and especially if they question or are perceived as a threat to the manager. The company is still hooked on mortgage lending and has been unable to expand into other areas to reduce its reliance on production and gain on sale. This singular focus, Combined with atrocious efficiency ratio make earnings unstable. CEO knows this -- like he knows everything and doesn't hesitate to tell us that in most condescending fashion, often -- but he lacks the management experience and ability to turn it around. The needle is stuck and he and his inner circle aren't able to move it through people. (It's easy to give orders or "reorganize" out the people who you don't like. It's much more demanding and heretofore unseen to lead, engage, and coach the organization to higher performance and quality for its members and employees.)

Pros

Working for Kinecta in my current position has been an amazing experience. I have the opportunity to work remotely and with many wonderful people. I've had the opportunity to grow and learn and contribute the success of my company with many wonderful incentives. I recently reached my 5-year anniversary and was awarded many beautiful gifts including an Ice Cream Maker I was able to choose. What fun this company is!

Cons

There are no cons that I see.

Pros

Culture and community involvement that’s about it

Cons

Favoritism has become ridiculous. Promotions are no longer based on job performance, work ethic, or leadership — they’re based on who you know. It’s sad and disappointing to see Kinecta come to this. Employees who work hard and consistently deliver results deserve equal opportunity and recognition, not to be overlooked because they aren’t part of the “right” circle.
