AURORA, Ill.—One-hundred seventy high school students from Metea Valley High School learned just how complicated it is to make household budgetary choices when they participated in the recent Mad City Money program facilitated by Great Lakes Credit Union. The program helps young adults learn what it is like to try to budget and manage a real life salary and real life situations. Students were given an occupation along with a salary, family, student loan debt, credit card debt, and cost of medical insurance to create a monthly budget as they visited various merchants and made decisions based on the management of their income.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Credit Union West was named to the 2014 CareerBuilder Top Companies to Work for in Arizona for a second year in a row. BestCompaniesAZ, in partnership with CareerBuilder and Republic Media, compiled the list of Top Companies using an employee questionnaire as well as employee engagement and satisfaction surveys.  “We have an employee engagement rate of over 90% (based on the AZ top companies survey).  You don’t find that often and it says a lot,” said Credit Union West EVP Karen Roch.  The credit union offers an array of employee benefits, including comprehensive medical and dental insurance, an employer-matched 401(k) plan, pension plan, tuition reimbursement and an employee bonus program.
