Ever wish your workday came with a change of scenery, new faces, and the chance to be the “hero” who keeps things running smoothly? That’s what being a Field Teller (Float) is all about.
At Central Willamette Credit Union, our core values—Respect, Integrity, Ethics, Compassion, and Humor—aren’t just words; they guide how we show up for members and for each other. We’re here to build local loyalty, connect to our communities, and make life easier for the people we serve.

You’ll help ensure transactions are handled accurately and securely, member questions are answered clearly and kindly, and each branch feels supported when coverage is needed.
