Wrong Expectations, but Above Average - Member Service Representative Deseret First Credit Union Employee Review

Pros

You work with great people, pay is very competitive and with upsell incentives you can take home a decent-sized paycheck. Benefits are above average for industry standard, vacation time is very generous, and usually it is very easy to work with other departments. There are a lot of department/branch activities and you feel like you're not just working or work for the company or just coworkers at a job.

Cons

In my interview and on the job application, it wasn't made clear that my role was primarily a sales role so going in I didn't have good expectations for the job. Even though sales aren't measured with hard quotas, there is definitely a lot of pressure placed on you to contribute to branch goals. Training definitely needs improving, while you have week-long seminars at the beginning of your employment which don't provide much practical knowledge, once you get back to the branch you don't have a mentor or someone you can rely on and help to answer any questions is limited. Vacations are not extremely flexible and hours are set but very rigid due to low-staffing issues. Also there's a disconnect between executives and the front lines, so when ideas are proposed, executives don't make decisions based on those who have to deal with the problems day-to-day. Finally, the credit union transitioned over to a sales culture, but it isn't really made clear why it made the change. One can speculate but in the end the credit union is not very clear on the subject.

Pros

Amazing culture, good benefits, pay is decent, and you learn very important life skills. Everything I've learned here will be able to follow me through my whole life.

Cons

Feeling burnt out can come pretty quickly. From the start to the finish of each day it's go-go-go attitude, all gas no brakes. It's very fulfilling and can feel really good like you're making a difference in people's lives, but it catches up to you with how much energy and focus you're putting into your work. On top of that, your Saturday shift is 5 hours long, which requires you to take a full day off during the week to avoid OT, but that's still 3 hours difference from a full day, so you have to make that up during the week (if you want to hit 40hrs) by skipping lunch breaks, or using PTO to make up the difference, or opening/closing everyday. Creates a lot of fatigue.
