      First Corporate Job

      It service desk technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Generally decent people and good work/life balance. I almost never have to stay late or come in early. Benefits aren't bad.

      Cons

      Admins are very anti-social, you get notified of events at the last minute, the pay is a lot less then what you'll get somewhere else doing the same work, not a whole lot of business organization, promotions and pay raises are extremely hard to come by.

      Low Pay Makes it Hard to Stay

      Customer service representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great co-workers, great customers. Health benefits and a good profit sharing program.

      Cons

      Looking around, I find fast food jobs that pay better than my position as a teller (CSR). It's impossible to respect Washington Federal when, as an employee, I feel exploited. I refuse to believe they are truly motivated by anything but profit, despite an appearance that tries to suggest otherwise. They are just like big banks and rely on the "nice people" they hire to be so nice that they won't complain or do anything about being disturbingly underpaid.

      Customer Service Representative II

      Customer service representative ii
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Relaxed atmosphere, like a library job: sometimes it gets busy, but many times you are doing e-learning after e-learning to keep yourself entertained. Focus on soft-sell "invest in the client" mentality. So sale goals not nearly as stressful as other banks. Branch leadership is usually supportive of you, however I have heard of other branches not being as lucky.

      Cons

      Pay is very low compared to other banks, high turnover which means planning vacation time you have to consider your branch being understaffed, training is minimal. They say that it takes 2 years to really know your job...well most of that is self-driven. Branch manager is more concerned about doing loans than actually managing the branch. So good luck reaching out to them if you want to get anywhere.
