Pros

Many highlight benefits but the culture and empowerment are great too. The Members are honestly amazing. Pay solid. As long as you are a “yes” girl and comply with the senior managers you’ll be ok. The solicitation of a difference of opinion is a way to weed people out of future leadership. Make no mistake. We don’t live in the era of the legend Rudy Hanley. We are in the cross hairs of a new CU Order. Ego, favoritism, and cronyism has always been a part of the culture. It was just hidden well. Now it operates with no fear. But we have now found a way to recruit that would make a seasoned recruiter cringe. We have senior level people hire hook ups, late night party pals, and even people they just met on dating apps. This behavior continues to be allowed because, well, your CU cred is more important than your passion for the mission. Meanwhile executives promote poorly qualified people. Likely because they are poorly qualified themselves. Retaliation and lack of opportunity will come your way if you aren’t a yes person. It’s a disappointing future left for many. Sadly the people you are nominating are poison to our culture.

Cons

The popularity contest can get old fast. The cronyism is real. Seeing senior level promotions into areas that they have no experience in is off putting. When the supervisors and assistant managers ask for more opportunity due to the low ceiling, the executives decide to promote themselves when a year ago they said that adding layers was not appropriate. This concept isn’t any different at other FI’s. But if you think SF is different, it isn’t. Inept executives give you generic responses to legitimate questions about upward mobility. Mostly due to their lack of experience in the area they are responsible for or because you aren’t friends. It’s a service org with a bank structure and mentality quickly losing its competitive edge in the market as a quality employer. It’s been disappointing to see the keys handed over to egotistical shortsighted people that don’t have the backbone or leadership ability to usher our once amazing company into a new era. Buzz words like inclusivity and diversity are the new hot item. However racist/sexist behavior is sometimes covered up rather than addressed. If you make a stink they’ll appease you then and cast you out. Great place to work if you want a place to sit around and experience high school again.
