Self-Help Credit Union Reviews

Self-help is a company that listens to its employees. There is space to bring legitimate concerns up and there are people who will advocate for change where change is needed to promote the company's overall success. You would be hard-pressed to find another organization anywhere that allowed employees to give pushback on established personnel policies and make adjustments to those policies instead of just ignoring the concerns and conducting business as usual. This demonstrates true compassion and an effort to understand the needs of those most essential to the work while at the same time balancing the challenges of making a business run efficiently.

Self-Help is a credit union with a relentless focus on economic development and wealth-building in low- and middle-income communities. It is recognized nationally as an effective organization with financial strength and an impressive track record. The people who work there tend to be well educated and motivated by this mission. Among staff there is a lot of racial and ethnic diversity and a commitment to expanding opportunities for women and people of color. The working environment varies by function, but is very positive in most areas -- respectful and open to new ideas. For mission-driven, results-oriented people, this is a wonderful place to work. Benefits are quite good, with a generous matching program for retirement savings.
