Pros

I have worked here for more than four years. I appreciate the open communication and that upper management colleagues are very approachable and supportive. This is a financial institution that believes in providing personalized customer service and they do not promote "selling" a product that is not needed by the client, they only ask us to recommend products that will be beneficial to clients. Recently the company provided most all employees a 5% salary increase when the tax relief bill was passed, what an awesome way to give back! They truly care about the employees and that is shown in the benefit package that they offer. Great insurance coverage, and I think the 401k contribution is one of the best and most generous out there.

Cons

Headquarters is in Seattle, so if you are looking for advancement in a back-office position, the opportunities are limited unless you live in Seattle.

Getting better all the time

Pros

Stable environment - good opportunity for growth. The company does a good job of recognizing employees. The overall feel of the company is low key - it feels safe & stable and stress levels appear to be relatively manageable. They are involved in the community and support a number of philanthropy initiatives. Upper management is accessible and seem to listen to all levels of employees.

Cons

They lack structured training. Reviews don't seem to be relevant to pay increases. Little opportunities are missed like tuition reimbursement.

There are all kinds of little things we can do better. One such improvement we just made was including a vision hardware benefit for all employees. I cant tell you the positive feedback that little change has made. That was able to happen because we as a group have been smart consumers of health care, and are costs have increased at a slower pace than the industry. Keep up making a difference.
