Michigan First Credit Union reviews

The culture. Overly restrictive with bogus business reasons. We had to recite a sort of prayer? every morning and discuss aspects of our culture before we broke for the day to work. It felt forced and fake. It's like they think if you keep repeating that it's a privilege to work there, you'll believe it. You're micromanaged constantly by senior leadership who really should be worrying about more than whether or not you're two minutes late to your desk. Very restrictive dress code, even for back office workers. Inflexible hours--had to stay late to make up the hours missed for a doctor appointment, even though work was project based. Senior leaders have favorites and it's very obvious. Pregnant tellers have to stand for 8+ hour days, no exceptions. Even the most minor of mistakes were treated like armageddon. There's a ping pong table in the basement, but no one ever uses it because breaks and fun are honestly frowned upon no matter what the ISMs say. They fool you with a nice website and friendly recruiters, but pay attention when you get into the building. It's not great if you have a family, hours are set in stone. You're "coached" for using the sick time you rightfully accrue (they used to dock bonuses if you used more than 2 or 3 days a year). They're not authentic.

Too many rules! Management(branch) does not actively support the development of staff. Have capable people within the branch that can fill openings but still hire outside candidates who don't respect the culture. The VP's are too involved in the selection of candidates for entry level positions. Wearing a suit doesn't make you professional relax and let staff wear polos during summer months.
