      Pros

      Everything depends on your manager/department but for my situation, work-life balance is perfect 50% match up to 6% (so 3% total) Pension is really beneficial but in reality, who stays at a company for more than 20 years anymore? You are vested at 5 years There are good people here. We focus on our members but we really do focus on our employees (aside from compensation) Job shadows are offered so you can get familiar with other departments to transfer to Micromanagement is rare for my department and we have a lot of freedom to get things done the most efficient way we personally believe You will meet all of the executive management team, including CEO, within the first six months if you work in the Tukwila location

      Cons

      My biggest complaint is the pay and growth. Once someone goes into a management role at one of the main locations, they are happy to be there are about 10 years and clogs the system. The majority of upper management positions are filled through outside employees, and I understand why, but they need to look within and train better. Pay is well below market value and HR employees have goals to stay within parameters of the job title. Expect pay to be 10-25% lower than other companies for the same role because of the pension and us being "not for profit." Expect to do more than your job title. You will be wearing at least three different hats but you will be paid for the "lowest" hat

      Pros

      Self manage, managers don’t micro manage. Remote work. Great benefits. Good culture. Competitive pay.

      Cons

      There can be lots of changes when you’re hired.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. It’s great to hear that you value the autonomy in your role, the trust from managers, and the flexibility of remote work. It’s also encouraging to see benefits, culture, and pay recognized as positives — those are important parts of the overall experience. We also understand your point about the pace of change, especially early on. Starting a new role can already be an adjustment, and navigating changes at the same time can add complexity. While change is often part of growth and improvement, your perspective is a helpful reminder of the importance of clear communication and support during those transitions. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

      Pros

      Pretty decent income and benefits. In person social outings from time to time are helpful

      Cons

      Those who mentioned constant changes are probably understating it. It's tough to manage changes when changes happen faster than change management can keep up.
