Michigan State University Federal Credit Union reviews

After 10 years with the employer I needed to be done. We went through so many HUGE changes in those years that it was a constant whiplash of stress. The CU started out okay, they were for their members and I felt like my job made a difference. Now, they are basically a bank, everything is for the sake of growth and 'reaching 10 billion in assets.' The huge job changes that were made were also mostly unannounced, there was no transparency to employees. They also wanted constant feedback about the company, through surveys and such, asking for opinions, but then simultaneously scolded you for ANY negative seeming feedback. While our job duties and titles changed DRASTICALLY from what we were doing, or wanted to do, or applied for, it was shoved into our faces to 'be positive' and 'look at the big picture.' We were also often reminded that the salesy way we were moving was for income for the CU to pay us and keep our healthcare package. That is what alot of it all came down to, was the healthcare dangling over our heads. I 100% appreciate the health coverage, but I also busted my butt for it each day. And let me tell you, the reason that they don't take it away, is because if they did, there would be a MASS EXODEUS. So many long-time employees have quite or retired in the last three years, and the CU doesn't seem to mind-because these new hires make less than the tenured ones.

Literally everything else. Cant move up or around besides lateral moves that will leave you pigeon holed in the same salary cap consistently. No matter how “experienced” you are. No actionable feedback so you’re left feeling stuck at your current role. Pay is actually WAY lower than they list. They list the total compensation package which is fine…but they make it seem like a position is making 90k a year when in reality it’s closer to 35-40k a year. I was there for over 3 years and barely made over $21 an hour. The raises were pitiful. But told “We’re lucky we work for a company that is even giving raises!” Like I care what other companies are doing when I work here… Restructuring consistently fatigued front line employees because there’s absolutely no consistency and lots more turnover over than what you’d think. Constantly gloating on an old award from 5-7 years ago and riding off that coattail. Back then, it might have actually been a great place to work. Also, the hours suck. Working every other weekend, long day shifts and working 10 hours on Fridays is terrible.
