Pros

The coworkers I have are the only reason I’ve stayed as long as I have. Never worked with such a wonderful group of people..

Cons

The pay is very poor.. They hire employees and then put the time in to “train” them just so they can leave to another bank. If Washington Federal would pay just a-little more it would be a great company to work for. As a CSR, I’ve never felt so unappreciated at a job.. you get shamed for things you do wrong when you were never trained to do it in the first place. They definitely favor different branches/locations (Seattle) over others.

Schedule availability, caters to new hires. You better be in with management if you want to ever move up.

Thanks for making WAFD what we are. It is our people that make the difference. We do our best to be a meritocricy, if you are seeing differently, please come see me. I agree it was the right thing to make new hires bonus eligible.
