Disrespected, walked on and not appreciated by upper management.

Pros

Branch and department staff are great. Gained good experience. Good 401k plan.

Cons

Pay, bonus and raises ($50 a month) are a joke. As a manager and almost 10 years I make less than some tellers at competing banks. Recently upgraded technology is archaic and hard to work. Upper management exhibits extreme favoritism, giving their favorites promotions without ever posting the position for others to apply. It is clear that you are just a number to them and they have no respect or regard for you as a working class human being. They have zero integrity, which happens to be a core values of theirs that they pretend to focus on.

You are right we would be nothing without our really hard working employees. We are working on improving technology and training on our system. We are a total compensation company, so yes base may be lower but all in compensation is very competitive. Thank you for your feedback, I would be happy to hear of examples of favoritism and the lack of integrity. You can call me or email me any time, your feedback will be applauded whether we agree with it or not. Our strength is our great people.

Pros

The only pro I have is that the people I work with within the office is the sole reason I am currently staying until a better job opportunity arises. Benefits are decent, vacation/sick time decent.

Cons

Bonus structure is a complete joke and is insultingly unfair to the branches who work equally as hard but get no recognition or bonuses at all. Corporate Seattle gets the highest bonuses in all the branches and higher ups have so sense in employee consideration and communication. I am very disappointed in how upper management handles things and although the topic of restructuring the bonus criteria/increase of pay has been brought up multiple times, any change of improvement has failed. Washington federal has unfortunately turned greedy and I would look elsewhere for a better opportunity.
