Disconnected Leadership and Stagnant Culture are Sinking the Company - Anonymous employee SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union Employee Review

Leadership is incredibly out of touch with reality. Every year, they ask for our feedback in surveys, supposedly to improve things, but nothing changes. The disconnect is huge: team members are underpaid, and most recently, mass demotions. Yet,executive leadership rewards themselves with unmerited promotions and annual bonuses with no clear metrics to hold themselves accountable. It’s clear who the company values, and it isn’t the hard-working employees who keep things running day-to-day. Promotions are reserved for the “yes” people who don’t challenge the status quo, so there’s zero incentive for genuine innovation or constructive feedback. The politics are so heavy that anything takes ages to get done, and even then, done poorly. As a result, SchoolsFirst is rapidly losing their competitive edge, and it’s only a matter of time before this catches up.
