Pros

Working with the BSA department has been nothing but the best. Here at WAFD, we have the most caring, knowledgeable, hardworking AML Officer and leadership who not only ensures you have home work life balance but does encourage you to learn more and get as much as you can from the department as you can. No limit is to far when it comes to learning within the department as long as you are wanting to learn and grow it can be made possible. A great group of individuals who are willing to help and assist when needed as needed and an Officer and leadership who has a strong knowledge on the BSA/AML industry to help you grow in. I’ve felt the need to post a review as I’ve seen past reviews on this department and AML/CFT leadership that were false and negative as well as needing to touch base on reviews on over worked individuals. With that being said, some of the reviews mentioned that some of the individuals were over worked. Due to the economy and companies tightening their belts, this seems to be a common situation at most financial institutions and is not the fault of the AML/CFT leadership. Lastly, I just felt the need to post this review because I do love my job and working for WAFD bank as I want to pass the positive reviews on this department and leadership as they are extremely great to work for.

Pros

It's a job that pays money

Cons

They do not operate on integrity whatsoever. I was told I'd receive my bonus if I was employed through a certain date. I postponed my move out of state/ paid for an additional 3 weeks of childcare/ paid for my insurance for the remainder of my employment to qualify for my bonus. They told me the day after I left I wouldn't receive it. Brent Beardall is a scammer.

Pros

Wafd has been around for years. They are a portfolio lender and clients like that their loans are not sold.

Cons

This organization caters to white men. True lack of diversity and the pay is horrible.

Sincerely sorry you feel this way about us. This is not the way I feel, or what I believe in and I think our actions demonstrate that we value diversity. I wish you all the best.
