Pros

People are warm, friendly and care about each other. It's a nice place to work in if you aren't overly concerned with high salary and enjoy working in a medium-paced environment.

Cons

Average to below average salary. Currently the organization is in Rudy's very capable hands, but there are some uncertainties of what will happen when that changes. The current second-in-command does not have Rudy's leadership and communication skills.

Pros

The credit union's number one focus is Member (customer) service. This has done wonders for the reputation of the organization as this focus is not just a motto, but a culture. The credit union is also dedicated to providing for the teammembers (employees). Not only is my health insurance completely free, but my spouse and child are covered at no additional cost to me. I turned down a job offer with a $7,000 pay increase because when I compared my current salary and benefits to what was being offered, I would have lost about $700 per year with the new offer.

Cons

For me, however, there is limited career growth opportunities. So I can't see myself there much longer. There also seems to be some reluctance to push back on our CEO & COO for the things we need to do our jobs more efficiently. We need better systems with which to work as well as another analysts or two. We'll never get those things if we don't push the executive level to approve a budget for them.

Not really One-Team

Pros

Others have pointed out the great benefits, which are true. Although as the economy dips, so does the level of the benefits extended. Also, most managers are really with personal time needs versus workload. Since it is not a fast paced environment, it is a pretty relaxed workplace.

Cons

Reading the postings of the other reviewers, one can ascertain which review came from a lower level employee versus a management level employee. Because lower level employees are not exposed to the politics and personality conflicts at the upper management level, they will not understand that all is not as it seems. Having been exposed to the hyprocrisy of it, it is really hard not to warn potential employees that if s/he wants to work in an environment where management appreciates the full potential of its workforce, this is not it. As one of the previous posts mentioned, one should do well here if one is not overly ambitious or brilliant. Otherwise, one will have to deal with long timers who feel threatened not only by change, but also self doubt.
