Pros

New CEO Bret is super nice, good lookin and a joy! His buddy, and our Marketing Guru Brad, is the best!! Our dynamic duo totally changed my opinion of my job at Wafd. They were the first to announce employees making less than $100k all got a 5% raise on top of our normal raise, minutes after the new tax bill was was signed. (Not like other companies that just gave a one time bonus.) We get to keep our increase, year after year. Thanks guys!! Plus job training is coming back. We used to feel like you would ring every drop out of us, if it killed us.... who cared....now it feels different, hopeful, the future looks bright at MY COMPANY!

Cons

Becoming fewer by the minute!!

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
