Guardian places a huge emphasis on relationships, both inside and outside of the workplace. Our employees are more than just who we spend our workdays with, and our members and community aren’t just those we live in close proximity to. We believe in building closeknit connections with everyone we come in contact with on a day-to-day basis.

At Guardian, we hold a strong set of values, like teamwork, honesty, relationships, and accountability. Our commitment is not just remembering these values, but enacting them in our daily tasks and living up to them every time we come into work.

Our Core Values

Relationships
We treat each other, our members, and our community with respect.
We believe in the importance of getting to know our members behind the money by working for and with them to ensure the highest possible level of service. We emphasize building connections and closeknit relationships with our coworkers and within our communities.

Accountability
We hold ourselves to a higher standard.
We are reliable and accountable for our actions and responsibilities and are committed to maintaining excellence in our day-to-day tasks. We take ownership of our work and meet our commitments not only to our members, but also to each other.

Teamwork
We work together to reach our goals.
We believe in the importance of teamwork both within our respective departments and across all of Guardian to foster a supportive and collaborative environment to maximize efficiency.

Honesty
We believe in conducting ourselves with honesty, integrity, trust, and fairness.
We act with transparency and consistency in all our interactions with everyone.

Our values make us who we are. Don’t just take our word for it; here is what a few of our employees have to say:

“I love the people that work here and the message that they bring to its members and finances as a whole. They always put their members first and go above and beyond to give the greatest service to everyone every day. The wonderful people that work here, the quality service provided, and the great types of products offered are not offered anywhere else.”
– Member Service Rep, Oak Creek

“Honestly, 7 years ago when I applied at GCU, I came from a company that I worked at for 17 years! I believe in being able to stay at a job and move up. I love that everyone knows everyone. You all become friends. You make amazing friendships. I also enjoy helping other branches and meeting all of our current employees!”
– Branch Supervisor, South Milwaukee

“GCU is a place full of friendly people who excel at their jobs. I came to GCU initially because it was a position close to home but as soon as I was in the interview, I knew this was a special place to work and I was right. I feel lucky to work here.”
– Collections Support Clerk, West Milwaukee
