Pros

Good benefits- Medical, Dental, Vision Pension

Cons

Policy allowing staff to work from home but don't honor it when requested. Staff who work from home will not get promoted and it's frowned upon. There are 7 staff who live outside the state and they get to work from home.

Pros

FHLBC has so many dedicated employees. Employees that want to work hard, learn and grow. They hold each other to a high standard. Work life balance is great for most departments, and the company seems to want to stay on top of delivering the best benefits to attract the brightest and best.

Cons

The only con- HR. The HR department seems to be a mess. The Business Partners are never around, they are either- on vacation or working from home. When they do happen to be in the office, 9:30 is the earliest you will see them. I have had several hiring issues, and have sent calendar invites for meetings that are completely disregarded. The inappropriate conversations, the constant reminder that the companies they left behind did things better, the unprofessional way they speak with employees and the nepotism is beyond anything I have encountered at any other organization.
