Love working there

Pros

Great health, dental, and vision. Really good 401k plan! Love that I actually have sick time! It's honestly the best job I've had. It's challenging, I'm constantly learning, and I have fun with my job. My job as a teller is a fun one because I'm a float teller so I get to meet a lot of my colleagues from other branches! Also I like that my managers care about you as a person in general not just as an employee. I would also like to say our new CEO has made a huge impact on all of us in such an amazing way I look forward to a long career at Washington Federal.

Cons

Very far and few between is there office drama but it usually gets resolved quickly.

Pros

The bank is large and the HQ is in Seattle so there are opportunities to grow within the company.

Cons

They pay you very little!

We are working hard to address compensation, including 5% across the board increases last year on top of normal merit increases. This year we just announced stock options for all full time employees. Thanks for your input, we now we can improve
