The Sacco you see above have a national outlook and have huge asset base. Finding a job at any of the SACCOs will assure you of cheap loans, job security and professional growth.
It is rare to find an employee of a SACCO being sacked simply because they cater for employee welfare.
One thing you should note before joining a SACCO is the ability to grow. These Saccos have invested heavily and are almost overtaking the banking sector, implying that you will become more wholisting in terms of skills and professional experience.
A Sacco like Unaitas and Stima have invested heavily in the Nairobi Securities Exchange and the real estate sector. If you have skills in CFA, CIFA, BCOM or economics and you want to gain experience related to investment then these are the SACCOs to join.
Mwalimu Sacco is one of the oldest Saccos in the country. Employee at the Sacco are assured of job security as long as government teachers exist.
United Nations Sacco, owned by UN employees is very stable. Most employees of the Sacco earn more than Ksh 60, 000, which is not the case for small Saccos.
