Small towns can be a challenge but we are very proud that we support many small towns the big banks have left and the communities are rewording us with growth. I would encourage you to continue to look for areas to challenge yourself within the bank. thank you for your feedback

Pros

I truly love working for WAFD! I could see myself retiring here, and I have decades to go. There is opportunity for growth and advancement if you do your job well. When I started as a Temp 5 years ago, my goal was simply to gain experience and move up in my field. I never imagined I would evolve so much and become so excited for the future of this company. I have gained an invaluable amount of knowledge from my manager and peers, and I have grown professionally and even earned promotions. I’m so grateful for Washington Federal. I also appreciate the work/life balance, especially with a little one at home! Love what you do. Make a difference.

Cons

Nothing substantial comes to mind.

Pros

A lot of integrity working for this bank. The bank is clean, friendly, and goes above and beyond to make sure our clients our satisfied. My manager does a great job at explaining things and helping us understand new concepts so we feel comfortable and confident at all times. There is also free coffee and drinks and snacks in the break room :)

Cons

There is a lot of down-time. I would prefer to have more to do to stay busy. Also, the pay should be a lot higher. We are going through a lot of upgrades and changes so I'm hoping there will be a raise for the tellers in the near future.

Thanks for your feedback, I will look into the veracity of the pay discrepancy. We have a lot to work on, but are making steady progress. Vision 2025 is about earning more business (both retail and commercial) to reduce that down-time and help provide challenges and opportunities to grow.
