Pros

Working at WAFD we have the ability to truly serve our clients. If something is put into place that may not work we can effectively create positive change. We do mortgage lending that is easy to understand and great training program with the systems. Management is easily accessible. Best place I have ever worked!

Cons

Cons are hard to list because management (upper to mid) listen to the field and make adjustments.

Pros

The bank is large and the HQ is in Seattle so there are opportunities to grow within the company.

Cons

They pay you very little!

We are working hard to address compensation, including 5% across the board increases last year on top of normal merit increases. This year we just announced stock options for all full time employees. Thanks for your input, we now we can improve
