Pros
The team is good at communicating because the team has a good business plan building within the branch itself to have a smooth operation and creating a great financial plan for the members. The other pro about First Tech is that they are giving back to the community and good cause. But other than that It is a well oil old corporate which always over promise and under delivered
Cons
Employer of Choice Claim vs Reality
First Tech claims to be an employer of choice, but your experience feels the opposite.
Conflicting Mindsets and Actions
There’s a disconnect between what the company says and what it does.
Job Insecurity
You feel insecure about your job due to company policies, even though you consistently meet expectations and go above and beyond.
Recruitment Promise Broken
The recruiter told you that you’d be eligible for a mid-year increase, but later you learned you’re not eligible because you started one week later than another new hire.
This feels like a calculated move against you from day one.
Unpaid Promotional Reviews
Being asked to provide free promotional reviews without incentives contradicts the company’s claim of investing in employees.
Mismatch Between Words and Actions
Overall, the company’s actions don’t match its stated values.
Big Bank Mentality
First Tech operates like any other big bank:
Prioritizing shareholders and the board over employees.
Treating employees like numbers.
Pretending to care while making you feel undervalued and worried about losing your job.
Employee Exploitation
The company maximizes employee output while treating those who dedicate their time and lives poorly.
Unnecessary Early Meetings
Meetings that could have been emails now require you to show up at 7:45 AM, even though the bank opens at 9 AM—this feels unreasonable.
Pay vs Expectations
First Tech expects seriousness and high performance from employees but doesn’t take pay seriously, setting high expectations with no reward.
