494.0. "DCU compared to other Credit Unions" by SLOAN::HOM () Thu Mar 12 1992 11:18

I am comparing the DCU statement of conditions to others in the area,
particularly those in the high tech industry.


The first is the GenRAD GR Patriot Federal Credit Union:

494.1DCU vs RaytheonSLOAN::HOMThu Mar 12 1992 20:0139
This is a comparison between Digital and Raytheon Credit Unions.
Again, the delinquency rate for DCU members is amazingly low! 

Note that for Raytheon data is through 2/28 while the DCU data is 
through 1/31.

RE: .1

Although it may be irrelevant, the fact that Raytheon's CU has a higher
delinquency rate may be directly related to the employment situation at
Raytheon.

    Do think that the employment situation is better at Digital than it 
    is at Raytheon?  
    
    They call it layoffs, we call it right sizing.  Both equal a reduced 
    abiltiy to make the loan payment.

    Raytheon and Digital have some VERY fundamental differences in the way
    they do business.  A large portion of Raytheon is dedicated to specific
    government contracts.  When a contract ends, so do the jobs for many of
    the people who worked on it.  As a result, Raytheon has a much higher
    turnover rate than Digital.

    Terminology notwithstanding, this is true.  It is the higher turnover at
    Raytheon that contributes most directly to their higher delinquency rate.

RE: .4

    Your view of Raytheon's corporate policy is quite outdated.  Raytheon
    did business in the above mentioned fashion ~15-25 years ago. The 
    hire/fire to fill contract needs is no longer the way Raytheon does 
    business.   I worked for Raytheon for 7+ years (1978-85).  I saw many
    a contract come and go and never suffered a layoff, nor did the large 
    majority of the people associated with it.  Recently Raytheon has felt 
    the effect of cutbacks in defense spending and has laid off workers.  
    The difference between this and the old policy is that neither the 
    employees or Raytheon expects these positions to be filled in the near 
    future.  Between the years of 1975-1990 peoples jobs at Raytheon were 
    very stable.
