Pros
Culture, Benefits, Opportunities. The CU cares about their Members and Team Members. I came from a smaller CU where our CEO did not care about her employees and it showed to everyone. When we merged with CU SoCal it was like night and day. A CEO that stood out as caring and friendly, who would take the time to talk to you and make you feel like a person not just a number. Many opportunities and promotions that I wouldn't have had at my other CU.
Cons
Compensation was an issue in the past with team members not being paid what they were worth. However, CU SoCal is working on this and finally seeing that they need to pay value for good team members. Retention wasn't a priority in the past but that has seemed to change. CU SoCal is adapting to change and that is great.
