Pros

401 k plan, nice people mostly. Weekends off

Cons

System has too many steps, poor rollout, minimal training. Lending Dept. is pretty good with training though. They need to get the deposit side right. IRA's forget about it!!

Thank you for your contributions to WaFd Bank, we wish you all the best. Your concern about overloading and discouraging employees is real. Too many steps in the system is right, too many manual steps....... Big part of our plan is to bring automation in to streamline processes to allow for better client service and more consistency.

Pros

Got to work from home.

Cons

Trainers and supervisors are rude, making asking for help awkward and uncomfortable. Initially, the job is overwhelming, yet it feels like we're expected to know it all right out of the gate. Instruction varies based on supervisor, adding to the confusion and feeling overwhelmed. The spreadsheet we're expected to use is difficult unless you know what you're looking for.
