Pros

Washington Federal has always looked after employee by offering the best benefits for the lowest cost possible. They contribute to our long term financial success with amazing yearly retirement contributions, and the come through again with an immediate response to the tax bill with a 5% pay increase on top of any merit increased already awarded. This is accompany that truly CARES about their employees.

Cons

It can be hard to find openings as people tend to stay with this company for years.

Thanks for your feedback. I am so grateful for the support from the BOD to be able to invest in our employees, training and our communities. Great to work at a Bank that takes feedback and makes improvements. Looking forward to 2018 and beyond

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
