Pros

My manager was the only pro, but not enough to keep me there under the horrible conditions . Monday to Friday work week.

Cons

Really too many to count! There are big issues with this company and my complaints won't make a difference one way or the other, but that's why people leave this place as fast as they can! Most like me stay long enough to make their resumes look better and leave. There is super obvious favoritism and downright hostility to those who are not "favored".An HR person made my time there living hell as well as underwriting. You shouldn't be made to feel like the scum off someone's shoe for trying to learn your job or helping out others when you aren't busy. The training they provided for my job did not relate to what I actually had to do, but was told that they deemed me completely trained and if I had any compliance errors I would be written up. The pay is laughable and a slap in the face!! I was embarrassed to tell people I worked for this company, seriously.

Pros

There is not one pro working for Washington Federal except that it prepares you for a better job.

Cons

Deceptive management from the CEO down. He asked all Washington Federal employees to go online and write positive reviews about this company to balance out the negative ones. I expressed my disgust for this company directly to him and he completed disregarded me. He is very much about himself and very dishonest. HR knows about this site and I'm convinced they are writing fake positive reviews because they are embarrassed about the negative ones. I kid you not, every single bad review about this company is true no matter your experience even if you are truly a positive person. Washington Federal also lost over 600 business accounts due to the new conversion, yes conversion, not system upgrade like they wanted us to say in order to be deceiving to customers. This company is greedy and pays their employees peanuts. This isn't a place for the young, ambitious, professional but the old, mediocre underachiever. This company will not prosper, mark my words. Evil business practices, cheap ways, low paying, uncaring, and discriminatory in every way. Work here at your own risk, I guarantee you will see how distasteful this company is for yourself. I'm so relieved that I no longer work for this awful company!
