Pros

Most of your team cares about you, great training department, PTO is good for just starting out.

Cons

Managers are lacking skills, HR does not care about you or your problems one bit- they only look out for managers and above no matter how horrible that manager is, turning into a Wells Fargo type atmosphere with how sales-oriented they are becoming and incentive in the branches is capped, if you are even able to obtain their outrageous minimums so be prepared to sell your soul. No acceptance for people of color or different religions or sexual orientation since the CEO and HR Director are super Christian.

Thanks for the positive feedback on SPIRE’s Training Department and new hire benefits. We’re sorry that you felt SPIRE’s front line management and HR wasn’t supportive. SPIRE does strive to acknowledge changes that need to be made. In fact a few recent changes we’ve made include changes to our branch incentive program (which resulted in many more employees qualifying) along with launching a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council with plans to further enhance our organizational diversity. Part of our overall process does continue to encourage in-depth conversations with our members so we are better able to understand their financial needs. Overall, SPIRE does care about all employees and support them. Again, we thank you for your feedback.

Pros

Generous benefits that support employee health. Considerate managers and close knit teams. Fun holiday outings and generous quarterly goals paid out to the entire company.

Cons

You have to remain in your hired position for one full year before you are ever considered to be a worthy candidate for an internal position even if you would be a superior applicant for another role Blaze is hiring for. If you start in customer service good luck ever getting out of it unless that is what you want. There are rigid requirements on upward mobility and even if you prove yourself you will have to wait. If you ever thought working remotely at Blaze would be an option, there are employees who work remotely in admin that are being pushed out, the company is slowly pushing employees back into office.
