Pros

Low interest rates employee discounts good benefits technology is pretty good compared to other banks/credit unions

Cons

Depending on who you work with, the culture could be a good one or a toxic one. Lots of drama, pay is not the greatest, not the worst either. Lots of room for growth, but a lot is favoritism. At the branch level, the busier branch were always overworked, and told to keep taking on more work load. The culture was great at first, but they started going towards a corporate old school culture. They hate when you take PTO, and will make it impossible or make you feel bad for you to actually take time off your time off depends on who else in the region is taking time off they only allow about two people in the entire region to actually have time off at the same time

Thank you for sharing your review of your experience at Patelco credit union. Over the past year, our branch teams have been continuing to serve our members in person and we know that it was very stressful as we strived to make sure we were there for our members, many of whom were experiencing financial distress due to the pandemic. While it has been a rough year for everyone, our branch team members faced additional challenges and we did provide some additional rewards as a result. Thank you for your advice - our team does work very hard and we thank you for your service.

Pros

Did not find any during my term.

Cons

The Technology group operates in an environment where disrespectful behavior is common and often unchecked. Leadership models poor conduct, and their teams follow suit, creating a culture that feels hostile and unprofessional. Employees are subjected to intrusive gestures, loud tapping, and unnecessary comments that make the workplace uncomfortable. These behaviors have become the norm rather than the exception. One manager is particularly difficult to work under, frequently undermining her own team—especially when they receive recognition from others. Instead of supporting growth, she reacts with hostility and attempts to diminish their accomplishments. Although concerns have reportedly been escalated to HR, no meaningful action seems to occur. The behavior pauses briefly and then returns. The overall environment is toxic, heavy, and not conducive to healthy work. I would not recommend this company.
