      I'm convinced that all the positive reviews here are false.

      Pros

      There is not one pro working for Washington Federal except that it prepares you for a better job.

      Cons

      Deceptive management from the CEO down. He asked all Washington Federal employees to go online and write positive reviews about this company to balance out the negative ones. I expressed my disgust for this company directly to him and he completed disregarded me. He is very much about himself and very dishonest. HR knows about this site and I'm convinced they are writing fake positive reviews because they are embarrassed about the negative ones. I kid you not, every single bad review about this company is true no matter your experience even if you are truly a positive person. Washington Federal also lost over 600 business accounts due to the new conversion, yes conversion, not system upgrade like they wanted us to say in order to be deceiving to customers. This company is greedy and pays their employees peanuts. This isn't a place for the young, ambitious, professional but the old, mediocre underachiever. This company will not prosper, mark my words. Evil business practices, cheap ways, low paying, uncaring, and discriminatory in every way. Work here at your own risk, I guarantee you will see how distasteful this company is for yourself. I'm so relieved that I no longer work for this awful company!

      Pros

      None, zero, ziltch, nada. You need 20 words but wafd does not deserve 20 word. That's all I have to say.

      Cons

      Upper management is unethical, arrogant and self centered. I worked my way up from from CSR I to Assistant branch manager. Upper management constantly makes knee jerk decisions that places higher work loads on the branches. My work load was insane! Example: I was promised training but was left to train myself as a lender. On top of this, i retained all my duties of my previous positions. Meaning, my loans were done from behind the teller line in between teller transactions, solving customer issues, managing the tellers, and all other duties in the bank. I did have an office but never once stepped inside it to work. For all your hard work you are left with the lowest pay in the industry!
