Your first role is just the beginning.

FAFCU offers a progressive Member Service Representative career path designed to help employees expand their knowledge, strengthen their skills, and take on new responsibilities as they grow.

As you gain experience and demonstrate proficiency, you can work toward the next level in our MSR career path.

MSR I — Build Your Foundation

Start your journey by learning the fundamentals of member service, everyday transactions, account services, and credit union operations. Develop your confidence, build product knowledge, and establish a strong foundation for your future.

MSR II — Expand Your Knowledge

Build on your foundation by strengthening your understanding of FAFCU products and services, handling a broader range of member needs, and becoming more confident in providing solutions and support.

MSR III — Deepen Your Expertise

Continue developing your expertise by taking on more advanced member needs, expanding your financial services knowledge, and building your ability to provide more comprehensive guidance. This level may include additional development in areas such as financial counseling.

MSR IV — Advance Your Expertise

Reach an advanced level of member service proficiency by demonstrating strong product and service knowledge, handling more complex member needs, and providing knowledgeable support across a broader range of financial solutions.

Career progression is based on demonstrated competencies, required training and assessments, and the qualifications for each level. Advancement is not automatic and depends on meeting the requirements of the next level.

At FAFCU, we believe taking care of our employees helps us take better care of our members.

Our employee offerings include:

• Competitive compensation.
