Great place to work - Anonymous employee WaFd Bank Employee Review

Although the coverage is good, the health insurance premiums a little jig depending on which option you chose. Employee only is great and $50 a month, but if you need to insure your spouse, it's very high. It's actually cheaper to insure your spouse and kids than just your spouse. I know they were trying to offset insurance costs by raising the rates on the group they perceive to be best able to afford increases ( childless couple that make enough to have one partner stay home) but it also increased the premium on single income families whose children qualify for state insurance. If you live in WA that's probably most as you can make 80-100k and still qualify depending on family size. If that's you, plan to insure your spouse elsewhere.
