Really great colleagues, I've met some of the nicest people working at Wafd
Cons
Loss of overall identity/Culture/Values
Wafd pay in many markets are considerably lower than our competitors
Decisions appear to be unilateral in nature, no input collected

you are right... our employees make the bank run and are our face to our clients and our clients love us.... thanks to you. Change is hard and it is inevitable..... we are trying to do the right thing for our clients, colleagues and shareholders, those are not mutually exclusive
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.
