Pros

Direct colleagues were good people. Some department Directors were good to work with.

Cons

IT leadership was disorganized and unprofessional. No real leadership within department or company. Massive turnover. Handling employee onboarding I saw first hand the amount of new hire/separation tickets that came in. "Best credit union to work for" is all marketing stuff. They ram it down your throat to vote for spire. Toxic horrible workplace.

We appreciate your comments and are always happy to hear that employees enjoy working with their colleagues. SPIRE’s Core Value is ‘We Care’ which starts with hiring employees who exhibit this trait. SPIRE was selected as one of the Best Places to Work in 2021 from the results of a third-party survey on workplace culture in which SPIRE employees along with the general public were able to participate. We do take feedback seriously at SPIRE and would welcome any additional feedback at hrmail@myspire.com.

Pros

Generous benefits that support employee health. Considerate managers and close knit teams. Fun holiday outings and generous quarterly goals paid out to the entire company.

Cons

You have to remain in your hired position for one full year before you are ever considered to be a worthy candidate for an internal position even if you would be a superior applicant for another role Blaze is hiring for. If you start in customer service good luck ever getting out of it unless that is what you want. There are rigid requirements on upward mobility and even if you prove yourself you will have to wait. If you ever thought working remotely at Blaze would be an option, there are employees who work remotely in admin that are being pushed out, the company is slowly pushing employees back into office.
