Pros

Great place to work. Treat employees very well. Company is just getting better and better. The new CEO might be the most approachable CEO in the country. I believe the CEO really cares and is going to continue to help WAFD improve. He listens to the middle management in the annual meetings. Oh they also own insurance agency’s. The President on the insurance side allows his staff to make decisions. He might be the best boss anyone could ever have.

Cons

I have to wait ten years to see how awesome we are going to be in ten years. I wish I had a glass ball so I could see where we are going to be. Pay for some employees is too low.

Thank you for your post, I really appreciate it but I have breaking news. I am not that good and in fact have a lot of shortcomings. We have seen many times that hubris can lead to poor decision making so we want to constantly remind ourselves of the risks in our business. Thank you for your support, I look forward to our bright future together

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.
