Vantaggi
Self-Help is a credit union with a relentless focus on economic development and wealth-building in low- and middle-income communities. It is recognized nationally as an effective organization with financial strength and an impressive track record. The people who work there tend to be well educated and motivated by this mission. Among staff there is a lot of racial and ethnic diversity and a commitment to expanding opportunities for women and people of color. The working environment varies by function, but is very positive in most areas -- respectful and open to new ideas. For mission-driven, results-oriented people, this is a wonderful place to work. Benefits are quite good, with a generous matching program for retirement savings.
Svantaggi
The pay is quite good for lower-wage workers, but professionals who work here generally aren't drawn by the salary. For someone mainly motivated by making big money, this would not be a good fit.
