Pros

Washington Federal has a good company culture, they are quick to promote, and they provide the ability to work on meaningful projects. Good work life balance, monday thru friday 8-5

Cons

They offer below market salaries with mediocre health, dental and vision benefits. Increased health insurance premiums over 20% since I started. 10 paid vacation days to start, increases to 15 days after five years.

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.
