After merger, company has changed for the worse
Pros
Historically, I have enjoyed working a Co-op despite company restructures and growing pains. The culture has always been a strong reason for me to stay as well as the ability to be involved in programs that allow cross-departmental collaboration. There is pride in how people here work to provide for customers, and encouraging the credit union mission is a good goal to strive towards. The growing DEI programs are also encouraging.
Cons
The merger has been a nightmare and actions the company has taken have only made it worse, for legacy Co-op employees especially. Not only has there been a strong preference for keeping on legacy PSCU employees, the merger itself has left individual contributors in the lurch for MONTHS, some of us not having a manager to report to at all as they decide how to reorganize, and worried about our job security the whole time. For companies that say they value DEI, equity has never been important in company decisions. Existing company programs have ground to a halt, business decisions have been postponed indefinitely, and teams have struggled to merge with no clear directives. Currently, there is little room for growth career-wise and benefits are weak at best. I am not confident in the future direction of the company and their ability to retain employees.
