Pros

Benefits Nice people Cafeteria at Tustin HQ

Cons

Micromanaging to the extreme. False sense of urgency for everything but then your projects get cancelled, changed or delayed. Management has gone to one too many leadership summits and thinks they are a Forbes100 but the actual back end systems and operations are stuck in the 90s. Not much room to move up. Little to no schedule flexibility. Specific to Marketing - VP is obsessed with the sound of his own voice and his opinion or that of the manger above him are the only ones that matter.

Pros

There are some nice people who truly believe in the credit union's mission.

Cons

This place is a weird, micromanaging hell. You work long hours for absolutely no reason, projects are treated with urgency when it's not that serious, and people like to feign DEI, but don't actually practice it. The entire culture feels brainwashed and backward, and senior management often fails upward. There are process gaps up and down the organization. The internal surveys are absolutely wild when it comes to how miserable people are, even with the so-called Dream Team nonsense.
