Pros

None, zero, ziltch, nada. You need 20 words but wafd does not deserve 20 word. That's all I have to say.

Cons

Upper management is unethical, arrogant and self centered. I worked my way up from from CSR I to Assistant branch manager. Upper management constantly makes knee jerk decisions that places higher work loads on the branches. My work load was insane! Example: I was promised training but was left to train myself as a lender. On top of this, i retained all my duties of my previous positions. Meaning, my loans were done from behind the teller line in between teller transactions, solving customer issues, managing the tellers, and all other duties in the bank. I did have an office but never once stepped inside it to work. For all your hard work you are left with the lowest pay in the industry!

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.
