Pros

There honestly aren’t any that come to mind.

Cons

Please, if you are considering a call center specialist position with the credit union, I urge you to stay far away. I left this job months ago and still have anxiety from working this position. The culture in the call center is terrible— rude and controlling management, standoffish leads who make you dread calling Helpline, and RUDE members who will call you every name in the book and you are expected to carry on as if it never happened. The call volumes are incredibly high and you are expected to do so much in one phone call, from verification, to assessing the member’s problem, to cross selling a credit union product, etc. The training for all that we are expected to do is severely lacking, as is the pay. The pay is low, the schedule sucks (you have to work one late night shift a week, one early shift, and every third Saturday). I really think the call center is the scum of the company and everyone treats you like so. The turnover is extremely high and they hire anyone who applies because they honestly don’t care. I’m so grateful I got out. This was genuinely the most miserable time of my life.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear your time with us was difficult, and we appreciate your honest feedback. Our Call Center team plays a vital role in delivering superior service to our members, and we deeply value the dedication and hard work of our employees. We recognize the demands of the role and its critical impact on our success. We strive to provide balance for our employees throughout the workday, and our availability goals support this. Serving the members and our community are essential aspects of our Credit Union. There are several departments that have a variety of scheduling options to support members and employees in different ways. One of the driving factors for members’ selection for a Financial Institution is convenience. Members regularly comment on choosing to do business with MSUFCU based on being open and available for them when others were not. When an employee is scheduled to work on a Saturday, they are scheduled a day off within the week, to maintain a 5-day schedule and support work life balance. We are committed to supporting our employees with the tools, resources, and a positive environment needed to succeed. We ensure managers and team leads are available for guidance, and we encourage open communication through leadership, HR, and through our open-door policy. We continue to enhance our training programs and resources to help set employees up for success and navigate complex calls. In addition to our robust benefits offerings, we also offer an Employee Assistance Program to support mental health and well-being. Lastly, we complete an annual compensation analysis to ensure our wages are competitive to the market. This has resulted in an increase in wages across a variety of our roles including our Call Center team. Thank you again for your feedback and contributions. Your insights help us improve the experience for both our team and members.

Pros

- Amazing benefits and PTO - Work from home - Expanding - Amazing buildings

Cons

Middle management was horrible and lead me to leaving a great company. Managers had nothing positive to say, they were always looking over your shoulder and getting after you when you were doing what you were told. Management did not know the basics of the position and would often reach out to ask questions or for the team to do their responsibilities. They would not take escalated calls and constantly put situations back on you by using "ownership" as a means of progression. No room for growth. Toxic team environment due to frustration with the insane amount of work and management. Constant call ins. Overall, the fraud department was not a healthy place to work.
