Svantaggi
Where to start? The management in almost all departments needs a serious overhaul. Most are micro-managers who have been at the credit union for 30+ years so good luck getting a promotion. The problem is that these managers don't do any work. They all have "secretaries" in the form of younger, more talented people that get paid under industry standards. There are some serious issues with turnover (really great talent keeps leaving) because of upper management. The place has a "bro" feel to it. One of the latest reviews mentioned that "not all white people are racist." Yes, ABECU has both race and gender issues. The attitude of the CEO and other upper management toward women and people of color is really poor. It's very white, very masculine, and stifling. The women in upper management roles are cutthroat. The CEO has no idea what a credit union should be. Furthermore I don't even think he likes St. Louis. Being from a city like Chicago you would think he would try to hide his dislike for this city but he doesn't. He is all about Sales, stats and making money. Growing and keeping a community presence is not a priority. As others have mentioned, programs are old. Computers are old. Pretty much everything is outdated.
