Culture
We are mission-driven, thoughtful and we take our jobs seriously. As a team, we share the values of giving back to our communities and putting our members first above all. These values are reflected in the way we work and the pride we feel in coming in to the office every day.
“Not only does the culture here value your personal family, they want you to get to know and enjoy your fellow employees as well.”
Bryan, SVP, Legal Services/Deputy General Counsel
“The culture within my department is one that promotes discussions, collaboration and teamwork. As a group, we push each other to be the best we can be for our members.”
Kayla, Marketing Operations Specialist
"Our collaborative culture translates into serving the member. I feel I have a voice here, and my strengths are celebrated, which lets me know I’m an essential part of the team."
Abdullah, Senior Collections Specialist
“The culture is very open; there's a lot of transparency and people are just here to help people.”
Courtney, Enterprise Application Manager
Diversity
While we have a lot in common, there isn’t one "typical" LGFCU employee. Our team reflects the diverse population of North Carolina: people who grew up here and people from away, western barbecue lovers and eastern barbecue lovers. Each one of us brings a different thought process, which enhances the overall decision-making. All of us work side by side to bring our unique perspectives together for one purpose — to improve the lives of our members.
“I am proud to work for an organization that values diversity and makes an intentional effort to ensure the employee base replicates the members we serve. Having diverse perspectives leads to better problem-solving and creative ideas.”
Pakita, Accounting Operations Manager
“It is so beneficial to work in a diverse environment that’s reflected in our membership base. For me diversity is essential in day-to-day interactions and it helps me to be more knowledgeable about life in general.”
Lauren, Strategic Partnership Manager
