Pros

Amazing Culture! While you may see a little more in your pay checks at other banks, I wouldn't leave the great atmosphere and sense of community that we have within this company. Plus, WAFD is continuously improving this area. They took the Tax Savings and invested in their employees, training, and the communities they serve. They care about us and show it every year when they give us bonuses, add an extra 7% to our 401k, and try to keep our healthcare premiums from increasing. They do the right thing for the colleagues and clients. I feel like the lines of communication are open from the branch level through our back office and also to our executives.

Cons

Continue to invest in training, it's getting better but there is always room for improvement. Develop the talent that you have, the ones that want to be here long term, it will payoff for many years to come.

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.
