Salary - Assistant Branch Manager (ABM) Community First Credit Union (WI) Employee Review

Pay, yearly bonus, good benefits

Required to work every other weekend.

- Pension plan - Supportive peers at the non-executive level - Credit union itself is strong and full of potential

- The executive leadership team, especially the CEO, creates a toxic environment. Unprofessional behavior is the norm—yelling at staff, gossiping about employees, VPs showing up drunk to work events, and overall erratic conduct. - High-performing senior leaders don’t last. Talented individuals come in, realize how bad it is at the top, and leave almost immediately. - Feedback is discouraged, and retaliation is a real concern. Constructive dialogue is replaced by micromanagement, ego-driven decisions, and petty outbursts. - The company is years behind in basic operations—refusing to even upgrade to Office 365, which is symbolic of the broader resistance to modernization or improvement. - Innovation is stifled. Decision-making is inconsistent and often dictated by mood rather than strategy. - Flexibility is severely lacking. Employees are regularly expected to attend mandatory meetings and events outside of normal working hours, and participation in “volunteer” initiatives is often required, despite being framed as optional.
