Pros

The Call Center is a death trap

Cons

There is no way out of the call center. What prompted me to write this review is that one of the other 5-star comments said it’s easy to be placed in another job if one job role is not working out for you. That is totally and entirely false. I tried to get out of the call center for over nine years. My annual review ranking was Exceeds Expectations. I applied for other jobs within NFCU, but they hired from the outside to fill those jobs. They do not let you get out of your job that easily in any part of the company. I was at NFCU for a total of over 12 years because I worked as a contractor for over 2 1/2 years before I went to work full-time. I worked full-time for over 9 years so I have a very good understanding of what it’s like on the inside of NFCU. I worked at both Vienna, VA headquarters and Winchester, VA. Don’t let these 5-star reviews fool you, most of which I believe are staged. This company is not what it is portrayed in these 5-star reviews. My supervisor took two 9-month extended maternity leaves and then went missing in action for four months while she was going through a divorce. During her absence, I received no monthly reviews. When she returned from extended leaves, she was inconsistent with providing her staff with monthly reviews. How was I supposed to stay on a career path out of the call center with a supervisor that was MIA? I can say with certainty that these five star reviews are staged because I was on the inside of NFCU for over 12 years and a lot of employees were unhappy.

Pros

In my tenure I had wonderful people I met who had a great impact on my life.

Cons

Unreasonable expectations, lack of planning and change management, no work-life balance, destroyed my mental health and had a severe negative impact on my family life and overall well being, accommodations denied, FMLA was a nightmare- I was hounded the entire time when I would return. Also an emergency that was life threatening and was expected to continue to report daily after clearly outlining the details and severity of the situation. Lack of empathy from upper management, thankful my direct leadership had a soul . Total opposite of the place I was so proud to work for and the culture that Mr. Dawson built has almost been fundamentally torn apart piece by piece. Multiple requests to voluntarily step down. I’ve seen another review from the department of people having severe mental distress issues and this is an ongoing issue that has been silently known about since at least 2018 and nothing has really been done. The pressure just keeps adding on instead. A lot of talk, but it’s fluff. Then when finally the impact takes its toll and an employee performance starts to show the struggles, they’re placed on a PIP & basically playing Russian roulette to keep your livelihood. Maybe member experience would be better if employees were actually cared for and not disregarded. And when you are strong willed and try to improve and won’t quit, they will find a way to throw you to the curb after you’ve devoted years of loyalty, integrity, awards, and exceeding performances. Please save the “we are sorry and this does not reflect our blah blah” auto reply. It’s insulting.
