Good benefits with limited career mobility and very tedious work - Senior Accountant Navy Federal Credit Union Employee Review

Pros

Highlights - Benefits are top tier - Pay is generous and a yearly bonus is guaranteed - Work life balance is good, only a few late nights outside of year end close

Cons

- Promotions are incredibly rare. More often than not promotions are based purely on tenure rather than merit - Very tedious and repetitive work - Recent Assistant Vice Presidents micromanage a lot - Ancient IT systems. This is true for both the laptops (for those who know they still run 32 bit excel) and IT support. If you need to call IT for any real problems its not unheard of to wait over and hour and a half on the line for a response. Another example is that they just started using Microsoft Office in 2020. What I've usually found to be the case is that people are drawn in by the benefits and pay and either stay for decades or leave after a couple of years. The biggest differentiator between people who leave after a short stint or stay for decades is your capability to accept the level of tedious work you'll be doing. If you don't mind doing the tedious work for 8 hours day after day, you'll do fine here. However, if you are looking to learn new skills/progress your career I wouldn't recommend.

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.
