Seattle Credit Union Reviews

After stock market crash of 2008 and subsequent mismanagement of finances, Board hired consultant for change adaptation and proceeded to weed out long term staff by hiring new Senior staff member who was responsible for removing any and all mid managers with longevity and salaries who were replaced by new managers for less pay. Constant power trips by all Senior staff, who harassed staff with PIP's and wasted money on Service and Eval program where staff were required to be recorded and evaluated based on their performance at a one on one session with their direct report manager. Once had Service Star program that they paid outlandish money for which mislead staff with false performance input. Seniors and Managers would give out "Gold Star Stickers" that were supposedly good for hours or a day off, but never provided, especially if you held a position where chances of getting time off were minimized due to your roll. Seniors would run around exclaiming their great pride in giving staff their "Gold Stars." Ridiculous behavior by self proclaimed "well educated" lying scheming Senior staff. HR is very corrupt, makes staff fear for their jobs, on and on.

Unethical and absent leaders - CEO, COO, CFO never visited the branches in all two years I was there (and there are only 9 branches). Awful stewards of members' money with costly outsourced advertising agency and expensive, half-empty HQ. Execs and upper managers do not communicate long-term vision for (probably because they don't have one) and definitely don't want employee feedback about it. Also an incredibly immature tendency by management to talk poorly of past employees. Very deceptive environment, because those leaders sure can smooth talk potential hires, community "partners," and their own membership at annual meetings. I even closed my own accounts with them.
