Valley Strong Credit Union Reviews

Pros

- You can work your way up with or without experience. - The company really does care for both the members and Team Members. - Great Benefits for Full-time positions. - Good Pay to start either part time or full time. - Can transfer to any of the branches.

Cons

- Depending on your methods of learning, you don't learn everything during training. You learn along the way.

Pros

At this point nothing pro of working here.

Cons

Preach all about Mental health and work life balance, yet refuse to hire anyone and make only certain positions work 6 days a week ( when there’s PLENTY of others with the full capability to do the same job.) When working 6 days you have to chose to either take a full non paid day off or work 4 hours on your “day off” just to get your bare minimum 40 hour work week. You’re expected to be at work even when sick. Managers literally leave to go get pedicures and get their lashes done while 2 people are left on the line working. Ridiculous. Work life balance only for those salaried managers.

Pros

Company loves their employees, designing programs to illustrate this across all levels. People with sustained tenure genuinely care for each other. Company compensates people very well. Not only do they care for the team, they care for members too.

Cons

Enterprise-wide modifications (overall performance program, dei and erg) are causing shifts that should be addressed earlier to avoid negatively affecting the enterprise.

Pros

Friendly staff, flexible with schedule, great benefits

Cons

Pay could be more and their's lack of training

Pros

There is room for advancement.

Cons

I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE YOU NOT TO WORK HERE. I would also be weary of all the positive reviews here because the company sends out emails telling employees to write Glassdoor reviews. This organization's core values only seem to apply to those in management or administrative positions. The frontline employees that are integral to the success of this business get little to no support, it's all talk. Stressful environment. Supervisors micromanage. Your company culture experience will vary based on which branch/department you are in. Pray to God you don't get sick while working here because they will turn the tables on you. There is no care or compassion from supervisors or HR department. They'll give you the run around and treat you as if they have no morals or respect for the lives of others. I've heard multiple stories from co-workers and mutuals about the way they handle illness. It's truly disgusting and disheartening they way they treat team members. They will make you feel disposable. Lesson learned, an organization that is always hiring is not an organization you want to work for.

Pros

Benefits were great, co workers were nice, business casual attire accepted. Jeans on Fridays and Saturdays. Christmas bonus, small, but at least it was something.

Cons

As an FSO you have to work Saturdays. Depending on the office you may have to work at a different branch from your home branch on weekends. When an employee in your department leaves they tend not to replace them, but rather disburse more work amongst those remaining. Not enough coverage when someone is out of office for vacation or sick. I had multiple times where I had to run the whole lending side as the only FSO the entire day and had to take lunch at 2pm or later when someone could come from another branch to cover my 1hr lunch.

Pros

Good benefits Good salary Good members to work with

Cons

High turnover/Low staffing Strict attendance not great for parents Micromanagement Poor training Senior team doesn’t address needs as expressed by staff

Pros

Good work life balance and people are friendly.

Cons

Poor management and the IT department lack skills in todays technological space.

Pros

Great atmosphere, friendly and fun place to work

Cons

I have no cons here

Pros

The culture. The values. The team. Senior management has made it very clear that their doors are always open and they're not above taking a call from the frontline. They genuinely have interest in how things are going on the frontline, and never hesitate to introduce themselves to new employees. Compensation and benefits are generous. To add to the generosity HR often schedules sponsored events for team members. HR is friendly and always willing to help in any way they can. Working here I am always happy to go to work for the day, and I know that should anything happen I will be taken care of. Valley Strong Credit Union cares about employees as much as Members.

Cons

There are some inconsistencies with supervisors as far as direct report support. While some excel in building their team members up and helping them in their career, others do not. I will say that team members do still have the choice to self advocate as far as their career growth, just wish all supervisors were supportive.
