Golden 1 Credit Union Reviews

Pros

Senior management listens, responses, and gives you the opportunity to be part of the solution/improvement. Benefits and salaries are good and getting better. If you want to feel like part of a growing team, this is the place. Opportunities to work with co-workers on community give-back events. Friendly work environment and you'll make strong friendships. Lots of fun work events and recognition for employees.

Cons

HR needed work (leadership, salaries, exiting underperforming employees, etc.) but new CHRO is getting it done quick.

Pros

As a Leader I would show leadership to those I worked with. I will listen others and will work with them for improvement. We can all learn.

Cons

Being new, I would have to watch and learn to be myself and make any changes for the betterment.

Advice to Management

We can learn every day!

Leadership, lack of benefits, no growth.

Advice to Management

You must realize why good people leave. The lack of good management, the lack of career advancement and the lack of decent pay is why people leave you. There was on point in my career where Golden 1 had a focus on career advancement. They had a program for career skills and growth. Then it went away. There is nothing in place to help employees succeed. There is no career path for any position within the company. As a...

Pros

Cons

I have no negative comments.

Advice to Management

Great job Donna

Pros

No pros at this time.

Cons

Lots of work for very little pay and recognition. Technology is lacking and takes many steps to do one simple thing. Benefits are awful for such a large company. They also tend to hire from the outside for Management positions instead of promoting within. There is no work life home life balance for member level staff.

Advice to Management

Better work and home life balance would be great. The expectation is that member level staff work long hours with limited staff at all branches. After YEARS of doing this many employees are burnt out.
