Excellent information…thanks for sharing! It’s astonishing that women continue to be paid less than men in the credit union industry (I believe this is true in most industries). However, I find it difficult to negotiate equal pay/benefits when I’m forbidden from knowing what any of my peers are receiving in compensation.
I can also say, from experience, that marketing jobs in the banking industry tends to pay higher wages than marketing jobs in the credit union industry. However, I have found the credit union industry to be more family friendly… and as a working mom, flexibility in the workplace is more important to me than financial compensation at this point in my career.
Good info but kinda depressing. If the bubbly people in marketing aren’t happy, then what hope do the rest of us have?!?
I’m happy. I love my credit union, it’s leaders and the fact that I work everyday to bring affordable financial services to people the banks have no time to serve. I’m proud of my business and the fact I make less to accomplish more is rewarding to me. I always have food in the cupboards, medical services when I or my family need them and I can sit down and talk to the CEO at nearly anytime.
Prosperous? You bet, because prosperity is more about dinner with my family every evening than a BMW in my driveway.
My salary as a CU Marketer for 3 years doesn’t even come CLOSE to these numbers. I most likely wouldn’t complain one bit if I was making almost $50,000 in the “Under 35″ category. I have no spouse or children either? One word: Bank!
I agree. You have to keep the marketing team or marketing person happy so they can generate great ideas and plans to put into place in order to contribute to the growth of the bank or credit union. I strongly believe that happiness breeds creativity in my experience with working with credit union marketers.
