Golden 1 Credit Union Reviews

Pros

At this point there are NO pros

Cons

The current leadership of the above referenced department is horrific. The upper management including a newly hired manager will belittle you, talk down to and nothing you do will EVER be good enough. 8 people have left or have been let go in the last 12 months (not normal). If upper management does not get what they want or they feel attacked, they will definitely lash out until the other party (or department) surrenders, apologizes or admits they were wrong! Upper management lies and gossips about other team members in 1 on 1's (this behavior is coming from the executive level). Retaliation is real and it all gets ignored. We've attempted to provide feedback but are continually ignored. This current leadership is weak and they are using fear, guilt, shame, punishment and manipulation in their attemp to gain compliance and control. THEY ARE BULLIES. This behavior has become so toxic the team is struggling....the ENTIRE team is struggling. The integrity once had has been severely severed.

Pros

Great service to members as G1 puts members and the community first

Cons

HR dept is one of the worst I have seen in a long time and this is not my first job. When something goes wrong, HR blames you even if you had zero control of the situation. This dept is also very shady, I hate to say it. Unless you are best friends with C level in HR, you are not in the spotlight regardless of the great work that you do or how many times you bend over backwards. People with less experience than you end up getting paid more and then are surprised when others find out.

Pros

The best things about Golden 1 have been the people. I used to really enjoy working for the company. The team really bonded together well and it was like a family. Sure there were disagreements but at the end of the day we all bonded together.

Cons

My experience changed once our team was transitioned to the New VP. The expectations for individual team members is not realistic. Team members are micromanaged, hyper measured and under appreciated. It’s caused a toxic work environment, lack of trust and attrition. The tactics he has deployed has not been motivation it’s caused a decline of mental health.

Pros

You advance if you know right people. It's about who you know not how hard you work

Cons

Toxic, manipulative and horrible leadership

Pros

Great benefits, great pay and bonuses, not super competitive with sales, great company culture.

Cons

Not many cons, you might get stuck with a bad branch but I haven’t experienced that. The other thing, The communication between the back office and branches is really bad. The back office tells members what they wanna hear. Not what they need to hear, and the branches have to clean up the mess.
