South Carolina Federal Credit Union Work Life Balance FAQ

Pros

The ability to support and advocate for non-profit organizations. Flexible hours The Employee benefits are amazing. I was able to get a low interest rate on my mortgage and I was able to earn my bachelors degree through their tuition reimbursement program!

Cons

I wish they offered a better work from home option.

Advice to Management

My experience with my management team has been amazing so I don’t have any direct advice for them.

Pros

SCFCU has great benefits, and a very great company culture. Everyone within the company is company is nice and its a very family like culture. Great pay and work life balance is great also. Great programs to help you grow within the credit union

Cons

If you work outside of the Charleston area there are very little growth opportunities and its easy to be stuck in the same position for years despite having great performance. They just don't have the openings for new positions outside of the charleston area. Even if you let management and higher ups know you would like to grow within the credit union and you complete the programs for the job you still will not get promoted unless a position comes available which is not very often outside of the Charleston area

Advice to Management

Offer more job opportunities, and positions in the Florence, Columbia, & Spartanburg areas.

At the time there was not an option to work from home. South Carolina is pretty rural and I lived far from the location.

Advice to Management
