Pros

Steady growth plan, young CEO, changing archaic business ideas and workplace environment.

Cons

Quick change from locally grown, people-focused company to company by the numbers, where customer stories no longer matter. Culture shock when senior positions are now being filled by banking senior execs that have left their corner of the finance world. Little upward movement for normal employees. Minimal frontline staffing.

Pros

Strong executive leadership: They have a clear vision and often brings forward great ideas that align with the credit unions mission. Team member appreciation: There is a genuine culture of appreciation. When a team member speaks up, their voices are heard and valued. Robust external opportunities: Credit union offers a wide range of opportunities and resources for both members and employees, including mentorship programs, community events, financial counseling, notary services and more all at their expense, As well as a partial reimbursement for school. Overall, a strong and healthy culture that makes it enjoyable to be around coworkers and even top leadership. I have felt welcomed and valued in every room I have been in at Valley Strong.

Cons

Weak Follow-Through: While the ideas and initiatives are great, the execution and long-term follow-through often fall short. Lack of Communication with Changes: There are frequent changes within the organization, but they are not always clearly communicated to team members, which can lead to confusion. Unclear Leadership Expectations: Leadership could improve transparency and consistency around expectations and the reasoning behind decisions, particularly during periods of transition or change.
