Pros

Great people, nice offices, remote/hybrid workplace.

Cons

There have been at least three rounds of layoffs (that I'm aware of) within the last two years. The credit union is discarding people with vast knowledge, skills, and experience both in their roles/industry and specifically at First Tech. I have seen careers on an upward trajectory abruptly cut short, with people promoted only to have their new jobs eliminated with no apparent warning. I find this precarity disturbing and am beginning to feel disillusioned with First Tech as a place to grow a career.

Pros

Nice location, easy access, good D&I

Cons

I worked here for two years, the Pay scale was so low you had to work two jobs if you’re a single person. They have the customer service representatives doing sales, and then find ways to not give sales bonuses because your customer service levels aren’t high enough. I had worked in customer service for eight years and I’m still in customer service at another institution and never have I seen such ridiculous rules. If you have to send a request to another department and they call them back your first call resolution is crap. And remember this is a sales team so they pay you so little and work really hard to not give you a bonus. I talked to a Work coworker who stated that now they don’t get their quarterly bonuses because they have to be at 110% of First call resolution to get the quarterly sales. Bonus makes zero sense.
