Pros

Good bonus program, loyal to employees who stay with the company a long time, has decent benefits, retail employees don't work Saturdays.

Cons

Pay is quite low, the company itself is non-confrontational (i.e. instead of letting go the part-time employees they made it very undesirable to stay by giving them no benefits and missing out on a few other perks).

Pros

This company actually does give the bonuses that they promise in their literature.

Cons

The way we did things yesterday probably is not good enough for tomorrow's business needs. Good ideas can come from anywhere in the company. Don't ignore an idea because of the messenger.

Pros

Washington Federal has strong values and truly cares about its customers. You aren't forced to sell anything, so it feels like you can really help someone instead of giving them a sales pitch. The medical and dental benefits are great and the 401k package is phenomenal.

Cons

The pay isn't great and there's a steep learning curve,
