I have been a member of CASE Credit Union for over 35 years, and for all of those years I have received very good service, until recently.
Unfortunately, as the years go by, CASE seems to hire young people who are less informed, polite and who really know what they are doing. I have had several recent situations where those answering the main phone number (and are supposed to be able to help you with your questions) were rude and lacking in knowledge. They didn't give me the information I needed to resolve my situation. They didn't seem able to go beyond just answering my questions in robotic fashion. It was like pulling teeth to get the information I needed. This seems to be happening more and more.
I must also say I have run into younger employees at CASE who were very polite and helpful, and were of great help. They would offer very helpful suggestions and information. It appears that if you don't get the right person, you are out of luck in getting good service.
I don't know if this is part of the current pattern of young people who spend most of their time relating to one another via texting or other online venues, and thus don't know how to relate to people over the phone or in person, but as time goes by I (and others I have spoken to) have noticed a real lack of "people skills" in many younger workers in various professions these days. It seems to be getting worse over time. read more
