Wafd Bank Named One of America's Best Employers

“It has been a joy to work for such a supportive bank. The Pocatello Community holds a high level of importance to me. WaFd Bank has allowed me the support and opportunities to impact this great place (Pocatello/ Chubbuck area). WaFd Bank aligns with many of my personal values, from the Washington Federal Foundation grants, to supporting me in serving Pocatello as a city councilman. The support of the bank and my team help me to positively impact the areas in which we live and do business. Change or impact is best made from within the community. Thank you WaFd for your continued support!”

Branch Manager, Pocatello, Idaho

“This is a place where you can grow your skillset and you can really do things that interest you and that aren't necessarily in your job description…I like to make a difference, and WaFd has given me the opportunity to make a difference for people around me.”

Melissa Gruben
SVP of Payment Operations

“I recently joined the Washington Federal Foundation Board, and I feel so fortunate for the opportunity to be involved in giving back to the amazing non-profits within our communities. I love being able to support the non-profits that do so much good in our communities for our under-resourced community members, it is such an amazing feeling. I love working for a company that has a focus on giving back, and encouraging their employees to be a part of it as well.”

Jen Peterson
SVP of Lending Operations

“It is encouraging to see folks out in their communities every month making their neighbors feel welcomed, supported, and knowledgeable. Whether it is financing the newest affordable housing project with a community land trust, preparing clients at local homeless shelters to move into permanent housing, or teaching high schoolers the importance of saving for a rainy day - our bankers put in the work!”
