Pros
The organization is growing, evolving, and genuinely doing good for humanity while being fiscally responsible to continue doing good for the long-run. Overall a fantastic place to work with a meaningful mission and real people. I highly recommend this place to work!
Cons
As with any growing organization, there is way too much to do with too little resources and conflicting priorities. Some would call this 'growing pains.' Totally manageable, if you're up for the challenge.
Advice to Management
Consider relaxing the dress code (as Goldman Sachs just did). Otherwise, keep up the great work and keeping it real!

Thank you for being a part of the Patelco team. As a credit union, we do pride ourselves on being fiscally responsible with our member's money and sometimes that means that we have to be resourceful and innovative in our resources and approach. Thank you for understanding!

Doesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEOI worked at Patelco Credit Union full-time
Pros
Good 401K, average wages, some nice co-workers
Cons
Want to get laid off? Work here. No caring about the employees, its all about personal gain for the executive leaders, especially the ego's of the CEO/CFO. Quick to layoff employees, consolidate to small desks, limit resources, and watch over your shoulder
Advice to Management
Start showing heart, stop being rude, there is a 3rd floor, although the leadership team can't find it (with rare exception). Don't pretend you like the employee's, we can see through that

Pros
Great employees relationships Outstanding customer service Amazing products Employee ongoing training CEO has great vision
Cons
They rarely promote from within Pay is below average They expect too many job responsibilities from staff without compensation
Advice to Management
I suggest separating the job responsibilities more instead of requiring tellers (MSRs) to also do loans (without pay increase), and MSS to do teller, accounts, notary, consumer loans, and mortgage loan origination without significantly more pay.
