Pros

It is a place to work, the benefits are ok. I had much higher expectations.

Cons

They are no where near competitive wages from other banks. A PB at WaFd makes less than a teller at other banks. When I found out I was making 5-6 dollars an hour under what my same job title is making at a bank less than a block away...and that was starting wages...I started looking for another job.

Pros

Will wear many hats working in the BSA department. You will get "training" so you can assist other teams with their projects. Remote work allows for great work/life balance.

Cons

The company recently gutted the bonus program and profit sharing but turned around and created and funded a separate Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for executives at $150-300k per person per year in addition to their regular 401k plans.
