Pros

If you absolutely knock yourself out, you will get a 3% annual raise. Health insurance has always been a good policy.

Cons

I continue to be appalled at the thuggish mentality of management in the Call Center. Employees get promoted in the Call Center to become management if they have an appalling thick-skulled mentality. In a recent meeting in Winchester, a woman who would eventually get promoted to an upper level management position, came to a lunch and learn to address a group of 20 employees on upcoming changes. Throughout the 45-minute meeting, she continuously did not conjugate verbs correctly. One of the incorrect things she continued to say several times throughout the meeting was, "What I have saw is ..." Correct English grammar would be "What I have seen is ..." I was appalled and wanted to put my hands over my ears and say, "Stop! Learn how to speak English correctly, please!" That woman was just promoted to an upper level management position. In a recent email, someone in management said, "Your efforts have not went unnoticed"!!! Correct English grammar would have been, "Your efforts have not gone unnoticed"! Most of the training bytes and materials have misspellings. I send the examples of misspellings to my supervisor, which are ignored and are not acknowledged. This is a Fortune 100 company in title only because of the good health insurance. In so many other aspects, this company does not deserve to be on the Fortune 100 list. I am absolutely appalled that a woman who cannot even conjugate verbs correctly could get promoted to upper management, which re-enforces my theory that NFCU doesn't want the best and the brightest. They want to dumb down and dull employees into a numbing dullness. Why would a woman be promoted to upper level management in the Call Center who cannot conjugate verbs correctly repeatedly? This is so frightening for someone like myself who felt I had so much to offer a company and five years later my career has gone nowhere.

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.
