A Fish Rots From The Head!

Pros

The people in the branches and the back offices are great! They try very hard to be positive and do their jobs well. They are friendly and genuine in their efforts to please the members. They work hard every day and rise to the continual challenges they face, but the morale has been stripped to the core!

Cons

The CEO/DICTATOR has single-handedly managed to derail that morale from the start of his appointment. He restructures the entire organization at the drop of a pin with no concern for his employees. He continually posts positions outside of the CU, without allowing any of the devoted, dedicated employees that have helped build the CU the opportunity to advance. He fires people at random, based on personal feelings, rather than genuine reasons. The CAO is a complete joke, who has more issues than you can imagine and thrives on making people's lives miserable by way of nasty e-mails about petty things. She aligns herself with the Dictator and oversees HR, which is also a joke! The bottom line is that no one in upper management is looking out for the employees! Members complain constantly about the lack of staff, but using the word "understaffed" is not allowed, as ordered by the CEO! "Work smarter, not harder" is his response. The response to making sure that the front end staff never has a line of people is to cut lunches for the staff. The morning and afternoon breaks that are afforded the back end staff have not been seen by the front line in more years than I can count. Then management on the floors have to figure out how to cut their lunches without them exceeding 38.5 hours!

Poor management, strategic vision and execution.

Pros

Good benefits, and many of the people are nice. Convenient commute from major highways. Not much more to praise about.

Cons

Autocratic management structure. The classic "yes man" survives and advances. Many key people are under-qualified for their positions. Frequent management restructurings, demotions, and firings, which clearly demonstrates inadequacy and inexperience of top management/CEO and poor leadership. Consequently, many strong leaders have resigned over the last few years.

Pros

Great coworkers, the only reason anyone would want to work there is because of the people they get to work with. Employees are nice to each other and genuinely nice people. Days off on holidays

Cons

CEO is an autocratic dictator. Annual review are a joke. They are set up to make sure you never get a high/ good review (dont bother asking fr a raise. CEO is not a leader. He only uses fear and intimidation as motivation. He speaks to people in a demeaning and demoralizing tone. Will fire or demote anyone that will question him. So much turnover because of CEO.
