Pros

Well-priced and comprehensive benefits Some remote work Free parking

Cons

The new CMO hired in late May 2021 is ruining what was once a strong, highly-functional team that delivered results. More than half the team has left in less than 4 months. -His personality often comes across as aggressive and condescending which negatively impacts members of his team, others in the organization, vendors, and consultants. -He possesses a micromanagement style, such as making minor edits to the same piece multiple times, which can lead to significant delays or rushes -He may often ask the same question repeatedly and doesn't appear to retain the answers -He tends to add large, new projects without reprioritizing what is already in-progress -He has a tendency to set early morning meetings or 5 pm on Fridays -When working with his team or others across the organization (or vendors), he rarely asks for your perspective or ideas regardless of your title. He wants things the way he wants them without additional input or much collaboration. As a marketing team, remaining members are just quiet. Where everyone used to have a voice, most feel that it's simply not worth it. He also has a track record of embarrassing people in team meetings. Morale is at an all-time low. Combine this culture with non-competitive compensation and I would not recommend this team for a marketing position. If you do, insist on talking to working members of the marketing team and not just corporate managers.

Pros

Convenient branches located in South Bay area. Good benefit package for employees. Always hiring. At one time, this Credit Union was ranked the 10th largest in the nation.

Cons

Higher than average turnover for employees in this Industry. Low employee morale is always kept a secret. Continuous budgeting cuts eliminate jobs frequently. Senior level positions also have high turnover. Check the company history to find how many times they have changed the Chief Financial Officer position in the last 5 years! Also VP and SVP positions..

Marketing - Not Better From The Outside

Pros

Hard working staff who want to get things done

Cons

As someone who manages a team that depends on help from the Marketing Department, I am here to confirm what has been said by others is true. A year ago, we could get something done quickly and effectively. Now, many of our projects are completely ignored which has resulted in a loss of income to my business unit and the company as a whole. The new CMO has his own agenda and seems primarily concerned with making himself look good. He isn't terribly concerned with helping partners make their goals, which I thought was their job. They have lost a lot of good people, many with years of history, over the past 9 months. That has also hindered the team's ability to move forward with critically important membership and revenue generating projects. The marketing team seems unhappy, but can't say out loud what is so obvious to others: it's just not working.
