Pros

This company has clear set goals and a very strong base. There is always room to move up and change positions as you gain experience. The company has a very generous 401k program. It also allows new hires to earn and use vacation days immediately upon hire.

Cons

The pay is lacking and annual raises barely cover inflation and cost of living. The only real raises you get are if you change positions or if minimum wage goes up.

Pros

401 k plan, nice people mostly. Weekends off

Cons

System has too many steps, poor rollout, minimal training. Lending Dept. is pretty good with training though. They need to get the deposit side right. IRA's forget about it!!

Thank you for your contributions to WaFd Bank, we wish you all the best. Your concern about overloading and discouraging employees is real. Too many steps in the system is right, too many manual steps....... Big part of our plan is to bring automation in to streamline processes to allow for better client service and more consistency.
