Vantaggi
The work itself is rewarding when it comes to helping members. Their are very good products and the overall view point of member first mentality has it pros when it comes to doing right by the member. You can get lucky with a great branch moral as well.
Svantaggi
Senior management has agendas. They choose who they want before they even start interviews. If you are looking to move up in this company, good luck. You have to know the right people and be in the plan. At one point, there was a decent movement where 2 manager positions opened up and subsequently and asst manager position as well opened. There is a rumor that the current CEO stated during that movement shift in the company that they will not hire or promote any white males into the open manager/assistant manager positions. Now I don’t know if that rumor is 100% accurate but I can definitely see it being true. The fact that I can see that being true really states how the company is poorly ran in my opinion. I found myself in constant rejection while being very qualified for the next step. It seems the company is on a downward path when it comes to management so I would reconsider applying if you are looking to grow into a company. The company and specifically the senior management preaches their core values yet the senior management seems to be the only ones who don’t actually abide by it.
