WaFd Bank reviews

DM's pay special attention to certain branches that produce, and pay no attention to underperforming branches. Management in the branch I worked at was lazy, never came in, or left early all the time. Leaving the rest of us to deal with angry clients who had been promised information from the manager. We were constantly yelled at by people. Can not go to HR due to possible retaliation or managers "ganging up" on them. DM will protect the managers before they will protect the little guys who actually make time to be in the office and sweep it under the rug when you do let them know about a situation about what is going on in the branch. On top of low wages, and serious lack of training for employees.

Although the coverage is good, the health insurance premiums a little jig depending on which option you chose. Employee only is great and $50 a month, but if you need to insure your spouse, it's very high. It's actually cheaper to insure your spouse and kids than just your spouse. I know they were trying to offset insurance costs by raising the rates on the group they perceive to be best able to afford increases ( childless couple that make enough to have one partner stay home) but it also increased the premium on single income families whose children qualify for state insurance. If you live in WA that's probably most as you can make 80-100k and still qualify depending on family size. If that's you, plan to insure your spouse elsewhere.
