What does it take to be a successful employee at your company?

The most successful WPCU partner-employees know we make a difference by serving our members and fellow partners with compassion and empathy. Our top performers are relationship builders, always looking for ways to help members save money, borrow smarter, and offer support when things are tough. Our partner-employees are differentiators—and that when we work hand-in-hand with our members to meet their needs and exceed their expectations, amazing things will happen. Our WPCU partners take great care of our members—and each other.

When we review prospective partner-employee applicants, we look for those who have a servant heart. Our partners are successful when they realize it is about how we can make someone else’s life better – living out our mission. We look for those that understand we can’t always say yes but what we can say is here is what we can do to get you there. We look for those who always look to make things better and not just stand on what we have always done. We look for those who seek to understand the why and build on what we currently do. We also look for people that make mistakes and learn from those mistakes; people who hold themselves accountable. We are not perfect, but we strive for excellence in what we do. Our culture is at the heart of everything we do!
