Pros

FHLBC was a great place to work. Training and development is important and they invest a lot into their people. The opportunities are there, you just need to raise your hand. I unfortunately did not take full advantage of everything they had to offer and did not appreciate it at the time. This is something I came to realize and regret after I left and saw how other businesses operate. FHLBC is a place to grow and learn from others, with established mentorship programs and approachable c-level executives. They are on top of emerging industry trends and were ahead of DEI before it became ubiquitous across other large corporations. So many great, smart people. They hire the best. I miss working for them. If I knew then what I know now, I would have taken more if it in.

Cons

Nothing to put in this section.

Great offices and benefits! Thankful for the hybrid work schedule.

Cons

Do what continues to makes sense, not just because it's always been done. People are not machines

We know our employees appreciate the blended operation model that allows them to use the office with purpose and maintain a schedule that provides balance. FHLBank Chicago has a beautiful new office space as well as industry-leading benefits for our employees. Our Values continue to be Trusted, Committed, Bold and Connected and we work hard to embed those Values throughout our culture. Our management team trusts our employees but some examples can be difficult to understand if not explained clearly to our teammates. If you encounter a problem with your manager, we encourage you to speak with your HR Business Partner to help determine a path for better communication and demonstration of trust within your team.
