Has anyone worked in the accounting department at a credit union? Was it high volume work? How is the WLB?

I have. Work like balance will be absolutely amazing and you can make really good money as a cfo or a controller. The pay can get stagnant if you are manager and below. But can't beat the work life balance . Choose your priorities

I’ve worked at a couple credit unions. I can say I’ve only worked after 5:30 once in 10+ years. It was year end and the new controller wanted the books closed. Upper management is usually out at 5:00.

Each CU varies. Smaller ones you might do a lot of operational work. I’m a controller and do entry level work 90% of the time. I’ve always had a good WLB and my first accounting job I had less than an hour work each day.

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!
