I worked at Ssfcu

Pros – Great start for college students who would like to begin a career in banking. There are opportunities for entry-level staff to move up within the organization if they have initiative and the willingness to perform.

Cons – In some areas, management lacks confidence in their employees' abilities to perform their jobs, which has contributed to either a lack of initiative and/or accountability of the employees. Some managers lack the proper training in leading staff members. More manager/supervisor training is needed, especially in the areas for developing staff and disciplining staff.

Advice to Senior Management – Provide mentoring and coaching opportunities to staff in an effort to develop staff. Create and communicate guidelines on perfomance and behavior and then trust that employees will adhere to the guidelines. In the event that they do not, discipline accordingly but not in a parent-child type manner.

Pros – They provide reimbursement for college education courses related to business and finance, excellent hours, and paid sick time. They promote from within the company. The ability to assist and educate members and their families through difficult financial circumstances.

Cons – Income paid is less than that earned at similar credit unions in the same locale. It appears managerial positions are often filled because of who you know and not necessarily the ability to manage. SSFCU appears to be losing it's personal touch during this time of rapid growth.

Advice to Senior Management – Advice:Thank you for the opportunities you gave me. Feedback: A college degree does not make a person a better manager.

Pros – Company takes excellent steps to ensure employees are trained to the levels necessary. This will include skills that may be transferrable to other career opportunities, as many support personnel are college students.

Cons – Cross departmental opportunities are not readily available for transfer or promotion. Turnover of employees who are students makes it difficult to gauge workload. You may have a few months of significantly higher work volume while new employees are trained.

Advice to Senior Management – Although costs are always in the sights of anyone trying to ensure efficiency, you do not want it to cost you talent opportunities. Compensation is a strong motivator for almost anyone...and may also be the deciding factor between staying loyal or pursuing other career options.
