Pros

Seeing co-workers and knowing together you try to make a difference.

Cons

It’s toxic. No organization, no communication. CEO is the worst every one is scared of her. They work you to death. No work life balance. As an employee you never feel appreciated. You are never good enough. Due to their poor management and poor investment in Lakers lost a lot of money as a result they laid off 25 employees, as if they were garbage. They said we don't have money so we have to fire people people but senior leadership got promotions, raises and they are still hiring new people. The question is why are we hiring people If we cant afford it and we let go of 25 employees. The employees just kicked to the curb. Employees and managers now have to pick up all the extra work from the other employees that were let go, not say anything because they are afraid they are next. Most of the employees including my self are looking for jobs elsewhere stay clear from this place unless you like being treated unfair, and love anxiety.

Pros

This is truly a work hard, play hard workplace where effort and dedication are recognized and rewarded. Leadership genuinely values employees and supports those who take ownership of their self-development. You’re encouraged to ask questions, learn, and grow and that support makes a real difference. If you show that you want to be here, put in the effort, and embrace the culture, leadership notices and rewards you for it. I am extremely happy working here and truly appreciate everything the Credit Union and SLT invest in us as employees. The commitment to growth, transparency, and employee success is clear and deeply valued.

Cons

I have nothing negative to add - I’m extremely happy working here.

Pros

Entertainment based, salary, diversity, some team events

Cons

I recommend this company to work for as an absolute last resort. Unethical, poor senior leadership, favoritism, continuous layoff due to poor senior leaderships decisions, no accountability for senior executives, Senior leadership runs the organization extremely unprofessionally. Poor spending habits, extremely high financial mistakes, employee layoffs resulting from senior leaders decisions (second credit union, leadership training program that was a flop, beginning expensive projects then just dropping them (relationship rewards), basing management movement by favoritism and not experience, high amount of leave of absences with no accountability for the reason (stress/numerous employees on loa's during the past 10 years under the same leader, reminding staff of being replaced, NDAs as a weapon, poor decision making, lavish expenditures for board and senior leaders, culture surveys as a weapon, pressure to visit sites like this one to paint a picture of the credit union as a good place to work, pressure to complete great place to work survey, CEO and second in command that engage in practices that should be reviewed by regulators or controllers, call reporting misinformation .

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and feedback. We appreciate you highlighting aspects you valued, and we also recognize that your broader concerns reflect a lack of trust in leadership, decision-making, and the overall teammate experience. That is not the environment we aim to create and is something we continuously focus on strengthening. We take feedback like this seriously, particularly when it speaks to transparency and how decisions impact our people. Our commitment is to foster a culture rooted in integrity, fairness, and respect, and we know that requires continuous reflection and improvement. Input like yours is important in helping us better understand where we need to continue strengthening the teammate experience across First Entertainment.
