Pros
Current CEO see employees as asset to company and trying to change culture, employees are highly engaged to serve credit unions and dedicated to community service, high regard for credit unions and its customers; people like to have fun; long tenured employees.
Cons
No real protection for employees with bad managers; lack of management accountability above first line manager ranks; risk adverse environment; hard to make changes quickly; lack of direct communication--"Midwest nice", people seem to find it difficult to speak directly with each other or their managers at every level if there is a problem or concern-a lot of talking behind backs/smiling in your face; too much favoritism and nepotism; HR not holding self accountable but holding others accountable
