Ditch Your Job for a Career With Diamond
For 75 years, Diamond Credit Union has evolved into an organization of 180 employees that provide service and support to the surrounding communities. Each employee brings dedication and motivation to help members as well as fellow employees succeed.
If you were to ask Diamond employees about their experience, you would hear many stories about those that came to Diamond looking for a job, and instead they found a lifelong career. These are just a few of the many Diamond success stories that can be found throughout the organization.
Director of Retail Delivery Services, Chelsea F., began her journey with Diamond in 2001 when she started as a Teller going through college. Chelsea has held a variety of positions within the Credit Union, from Financial Consultant, to Branch Manager and more before being promoted to her current role.
It isn’t uncommon for Diamond employees to join as a teller and then work their way up the ladder. Director of Strategic Planning and Project Management, Peter D. also started at Diamond as a Teller while studying in college. Much like Chelsea, Peter worked his way through different roles in the organization. As he gained more experience and knowledge, he was promoted to Consumer Loan Funder, then to Compliance Officer and in 2021, Director.
Another DCU success story can be found with Marketing Officer, Anthony H. Anthony began his career as a Teller, and joined the Marketing Department three years later as a Marketing Associate. In 2020, he was promoted to his current role.
“Starting as a teller provided me with invaluable member service experience that I was able to leverage in my marketing career,” Anthony said. “This position helped me move up in Diamond.”
Chelsea and Peter agreed that their experiences as tellers set them up for success in the organization.
“It’s a great role to build a solid foundation of knowledge about the Credit Union and the financial world,” Chelsea said.
Many don’t know just how much they can impact people’s lives by working as a teller at Diamond. Not only do DCU employees have the chance to help members financially, but they also have the opportunity to connect with members and build relationships.
Chelsea shared that through her interactions with members, she held great conversations and had the chance to make their days “a little bit brighter along the way.”
No matter what department you find yourself in at Diamond, your fellow colleagues are always encouraging you to be the best version of yourself, and to never stop learning. That is why so many people that start as tellers find themselves being promoted into other roles.
“Diamond wants to see you succeed- we have so many staff success stories here, and they all contribute to Diamond’s overall success,” Chelsea said when referring to Diamond’s core values.
When you surround yourself with people that have positive attitudes that enjoy their jobs, it doesn’t feel like you’re going to work. Chelsea described the branch teams as enthusiastic, heartfelt and driven. “Our team is here to help, here to guide, here to educate and here to make your day.”
Diamond Credit Union has been awarded one of the Best Places to Work in PA for six consecutive years. The positive and caring attitudes of Chelsea, Peter and Anthony can be found within each DCU employee that is building a career with Diamond.
In addition to being voted as the Best Place to Work by staff, Diamond was also awarded 2021 Best of Berks- Financial Institution by Berks County Living Magazine. When employees love their jobs, it is reflected in the service they provide to members.
