Harborstone Credit Union

What is the best part of working at the company?
Harborstone is a company that is really supportive of their employees and motivates all of their staff to strive to improve and grow in the company. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is a high expectation to be a "hungry" person that desires to grow and strive for more. You really need to be a self motivated and highly accurate individual to secede in this industry in general. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Overall, the company encourages communication between coworkers and management; making time for several meetings through out every month where people can voice their thoughts, give feed back, and ask questions. Management is very supportive when it comes to their employees needs, encouraging vacation time and listening to what you need if you are going through a tough time. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
An average day: printing reports, helping members with banking needs, making fallow up calls to members, one 10 minute break early on; a constant barrage of questions from new hires throughout the day. 
Then an hour break in the middle of the day, where you can leave but I usually sat in the break room and watched a movie or played games. 
Then helping more members, squeeze in study time for banking protocols and security, more member assistance and another 10 minute break. Then count tills, secure the building and go home.

I worked as a teller at Harborstone Credit Union for only a year before relocating to Statesboro, Georgia. A typical day as a teller was doing transactions for members including deposits, withdrawals, money orders, traveler's checks, outgoing wires, and referrals.

I was a manager at McDonald's before I started working at Harborstone. I had customer service experience, but working at this credit union taught me a whole other level of customer service.

The management and my co-workers in my area were great. Always willing to help out if you had problems or questions.

The hardest part of my job for me was adjusting to this totally different level of customer service and all the rules and regulations we had to know.

I really enjoyed working at Harborstone Credit Union, if only for a short time. I did make some friends for life during this time.

Coming aboard I found that my predecessor had left under "less than ideal" terms citing the way he was treated there. I encountered the same. A typical day included being directed by non-technical employees about how to do my job with my own manager failing to have my back and telling me "Well, that's how we do things here."

Management is lacking, and as a technical professional, being given direction from manager(s) with little or no technical background was frustrating. The hardest part of the job was having to tolerate the accusatory tone of other non-technical personnel telling me that their vendor(s) say the problem is/was the network....all...the....time.

Empowers employees, does not micromanage, great opportunities for advancement. The culture is employee & member centric and they truly care. Working at Harborstone CU truly feels like you are a part of a family. They are dedicated to the well-being of their employees, fulfilling members needs, and serving the communities around them. My most memorable and influential experiences working in the financial industry comes from my time at Harborstone CU.

The coworkers are great but management is horrible. I had the unfortunate timing to get sick as a new hire and was fired for missing two days of work. My manager firing me was the second time she had ever even really talked to me in my first two weeks. All of my coworkers seemed afraid of her, rather than respect her. The way in which they let me go was also horrible and accusatory. I was told by HR that my manager had spoken with me about the situation beforehand, which was not the case, and the HR manager did not care that I did not in fact have any prior conversation.  So if you want management that treats you poorly, and will fire you without a conversation if you have the audacity to get sick, this is the place for you. 

Harborstone Credit Unions culture is like a family. Everyone looks out for each other and are there to help when needed. The work day starts of with a warm welcome from team members. When a team member needs help the others are willing to jump in at any time. When you like the job you are in it really is not work at all. That is what this company is like. Management is there to help employees strive to do their best.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nice fellow employees.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Difficult credit culture and limited experienced supervision 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly and very conservative credit approval

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Activities synonymous with building a loan portfolio

Great benefits, but due to inadequate staffing not only in the call center , but in other departments as well, micromanagement and a fake illusion of inclusion it was hard to want to stay. Coworkers made it bearable. Management needs work. The pay scale wasn’t fair to every employee. Seasoned employees with years of experience making way less than new hires with no experience.
