Horrible Company especially if working at headquarters!! - Anonymous employee GTE Financial Employee Review

benefits, great management & vps.

the only con would be the 9-6pm schedule, every other weekend.

There are a few employees who genuinely care about helping members, and the credit union does offer occasional community events and volunteer opportunities. The basic benefits package is decent especially 401k match.

Compensation for frontline roles is far below market, especially considering the level of sales pressure, lending responsibilities, and constant customer support required. Competing credit unions and major banks pay significantly more for identical work. The “people helping people” branding does not reflect the internal reality or the policies employees must follow. Community events and parade appearances feel performative and do nothing to address the issues staff and members face. Branch leadership often behaves unprofessionally, with inconsistent expectations and dismissive communication, leaving little meaningful coaching or support. The attendance policy also allows managers to issue write-ups after only three call-out days within six months, even if one of those absences is just a partial day. This gives managers extensive discretion and creates a system that feels unnecessarily imbalanced. The overall culture, policies, and compensation create an environment where even employees who truly care struggle to succeed.
