Pros

Working at WAFD we have the ability to truly serve our clients. If something is put into place that may not work we can effectively create positive change. We do mortgage lending that is easy to understand and great training program with the systems. Management is easily accessible. Best place I have ever worked!

Cons

Cons are hard to list because management (upper to mid) listen to the field and make adjustments.

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.
