Pros

Health Benefits weren't bad and WAFD does pay for most of it. The clients were great

Cons

I wasn't allowed to do my job. I felt used all the time and was not valued at all. Or atleast wasn't shown The! The back office can be a pain to deal with. It always seems like they put the cart before the horse. There were times the branches didn't know policy changed until we got in trouble for it. Also it depends on who you talk to depended on what the policy was. The only reason I stayed for as long as I did was because of the clients and the false promise of allowing me to actually do my job.

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.
