Pros

The company pays well if you are a teller, and they pay the web programmers well too, The main headquarters is in a cool building. nice cafeteria and nice people to work with

Cons

The CEO will tell you how awesome the IT department is in one sentence and then say we can all be outsourced in the next. The pay is crap for the area. He gave out $100 one the same day all the programmers at Auto-Owners got a real bonus and would not stop talking about how awesome it was. It was annoying. Maternity leave is crap. Its a difficult place to work if you are a woman and have family. They give you sick time but expect you not to use it. They use ancient, third proprietary technology. It's boring if you are on the IT team. If you are a web programmer they pay is way better and more fun.

Pros

My coworkers are some of the best people I’ve ever met.

Cons

When I started here, I legitimately loved this place and would recommend people to come work here as well. That was years ago. Now I would not recommend it to my worst enemy. This place has completely 180 It’s culture and has changed into being one of the worst places I’ve ever worked. There is no support, management can’t stand constructive feedback, no one listens when employees say they are burnt out. Instead all upper and middle management does is sit in their offices fake smiling and gaslighting employees every day by saying we just aren’t working hard. Branches in particular are suffering. They are constantly sending employees to other branches when staffing is already at critical lows which affects employees and members alike by increasing wait times with no moment to decompress all day for workers to just be glared at and treated badly by our once wonderful membership base because they are being directly targeted to systemically be discouraged from stepping foot in a branch. Somehow management is not understanding that we are all able with communicate to each other when we do visit other branches. Every single branch employee is having the same experience. We are extremely underpaid, under appreciated, and truly feel as though they are trying to chase us out so they don’t have to fund branches anymore. The plot has been lost that there would be no MSUFCU without the branches. The stats don’t lie. Every time a branch is built our membership grows and loyalty increases. It’s because of the EMPLOYEES, not the “brand”. Stop lecturing us about “hospitality”. That’s a stupid buzz word. If you are considering working for MSUFCU-don’t. Unless you are going to be in a VP or CEO position it will require you to burn yourself out into nothing with only criticism and silencing of why you feel that way to begin with. At least half of my branch is currently applying OUTSIDE the CU.
