If you visit our branches or administrative building, you will notice how well-kept our offices are. This is due, in part, to the extraordinary work of our Caretaker team. Our Caretakers take tremendous pride in their work, making sure that all our facilities are clean and healthy. They keep the team caffeinated, the plants thriving, and the dishwasher humming. The Caretaker team is a vital part of O Bee. They are the heart and soul of our credit union. Get to know this group of superstars – you will love them as much as we do!
O Bee is proud to partner with Morningside Employment Services to provide employment opportunities for our Caretakers. Like Morningside, we believe that when everybody works, everybody wins!
Meet the team!
