Pros

Good benefits, great time off, good training, and business casual environment, and the status that comes from working at a very reputable company in the area.

Cons

Extreme micromanagement. One of the interesting things is that they required you to tell them when classes you were taking in college. I found it odd and annoying at first but I've come to suspect that they'd use this information in deciding whether or not to promote you. I get it, but it's definitely way beyond the comfort zone of any other company I've worked for. Another issue I found was that they would try to incorporate ICCU in every faucet of your life. Done with work? Come to the company such and such. Read to go home and relax? Be sure to subscribe to the ICC Facebook page. Again, it's like you don't get a break. I understand, you want people to be involved with the company but it's obsessive. You'll for sure be added to the Facebook page by your boss or co-worker. Don't want to be apart of it? Bam! It shows you're not a team player. Again, too much. The work is mundane at best and unfulfilling at worst. There is this constant pressure to perform at 110%. But let's be honest, who can perform 110% all day, every day to line someone else's pockets? I remember them boasting about how the call center took more calls than the average call center. But, looking at indeed, it seems like they are unable to keep people in that department. However, that may just be the nature of the job.

Pros

There are good people sprinkled throughout the organization, and working alongside capable, committed colleagues is one of the more consistent positives of the experience. The work itself can be genuinely rewarding, particularly in areas where leadership is strong and sets a clear direction. In those environments, teams tend to function more effectively and employees are better supported in doing meaningful work.

Cons

The culture has shifted toward a more bureaucratic, bank-style environment where internal priorities and egos often outweigh member and employee experience. While the company once had a more collaborative feel, it now comes across as increasingly political and hierarchical in many areas. Experiences do vary by team, but the overall direction has made trust and day-to-day working relationships noticeably weaker than in the past. The “Best Place to Work” survey results do not reflect the day-to-day employee experience, and internal encouragement to rate the organization highly undermines confidence in those results. At the same time, transparency around promotions and advancement remains a significant concern. Many employees perceive that visibility, internal relationships, religion, and networking can sometimes carry more weight than actual performance and results. Even where that perception is not universally accurate, the lack of clear criteria and communication around decisions creates frustration and distrust. Leadership communication and accountability continue to be weak points. Employee feedback often does not lead to visible change, and follow-through is inconsistent. Lack of consistent accountability has allowed negative leadership behaviors to have an outsized impact on morale and culture, further eroding confidence in leadership over time. Despite having many strong individual contributors and capable teams, these cultural issues have had a clear and ongoing impact on morale, engagement, and retention.
