Pros

The clients are great to work with!

Cons

WaFd is one of the lowest paying FIs in Oregon and when you ask for a small increase, the management just laughs and changes the subject. Also, if you want to try to move up in the company, you are required to complete a "checklist". The checklist can take you up to 6 (or more) months to complete and only then do you get the pay increase. You basically have to do all of the work of the new position first, then get the title and pay. And no back pay either. But people can be hired off the street for the full amount of money without having to do the checklist or without having experience.
