      Shame on you, Washington Federal for not being "invested here." with your employees.

      Pros

      Great medical and dental insurance benefits. Cost sharing is fair to both employee and employer.

      Cons

      Appears to prefer to hire younger college educated individuals rather than working to educate and promote current staff. Long term employees are often paid less than the individual hired for the same job. Terms like "Groom them or broom them" and "Getting rid of Deadwood" employees are bandied about the corporate offices. Shame on you for discounting the skills and experience of long term employees.

      Great benefits, pay not competitive.

      Pros

      The 401k match is outstanding. Would be a great company to retire with. Health insurance including dental and options for flexible spending. Great resources available to help you learn about banking.

      Cons

      The pay is low and although the benefits are great if you're not near retirement or retirement isn't on your mind, it's sometimes hard to relate benefits directly to pay. The people that work here are great.
