Pros

The Call Center is a death trap

Cons

There is no way out of the call center. What prompted me to write this review is that one of the other 5-star comments said it’s easy to be placed in another job if one job role is not working out for you. That is totally and entirely false. I tried to get out of the call center for over nine years. My annual review ranking was Exceeds Expectations. I applied for other jobs within NFCU, but they hired from the outside to fill those jobs. They do not let you get out of your job that easily in any part of the company. I was at NFCU for a total of over 12 years because I worked as a contractor for over 2 1/2 years before I went to work full-time. I worked full-time for over 9 years so I have a very good understanding of what it’s like on the inside of NFCU. I worked at both Vienna, VA headquarters and Winchester, VA. Don’t let these 5-star reviews fool you, most of which I believe are staged. This company is not what it is portrayed in these 5-star reviews. My supervisor took two 9-month extended maternity leaves and then went missing in action for four months while she was going through a divorce. During her absence, I received no monthly reviews. When she returned from extended leaves, she was inconsistent with providing her staff with monthly reviews. How was I supposed to stay on a career path out of the call center with a supervisor that was MIA? I can say with certainty that these five star reviews are staged because I was on the inside of NFCU for over 12 years and a lot of employees were unhappy.

Pros

Great work-life balance. Great benefits- 7% 401K match, 3% pension, $1K HSA match. 4 weeks vacation and 2 weeks sick leave. Discounted rate on mortgage or auto loan. Company really values tenure and employee retention. Hybrid schedule with 3 times a week for people leaders, 2 times a week for individual contributors.

Cons

Ver relationship-based. If you can't network, you likely won't have much upward mobility. Can be bureaucratic depending on your leadership.

Pros

Pay can be decent at times Met some great people

Cons

Processors are the garbage can of the entire loan process. We literally are help to such insane standards with no support. Apparently it’s been this way for years and even high ranking supervisors say they feel like they’re talking to a brick wall when they voice our frustrations. Since my time here that have been at least 2 employees that I’ve heard of that have either attempted jumping off our building or actually did jump off. Like how can you not implement change when people are so stressed that they are jumping off our buildings? If anyone is reading this and wondering how the stress gets that bad it’s because the better you do the more money you get but they keep raising the bar so when you’re use to that extra income and now you have to do so much more to get that extra income that you’re used to it can break a person down and higher ups know how bad we’re breaking down. It’s completely normal for a half hour workforce to go on mental health leave during the summer which is our busy season and still nothing is done. I haven’t even been here a full year. What is it going to take to actually implement a change?
