      Pros

      Some of the best things about working here were that the management was very kind to us and the payout was not bad for a starting out type of job out of college

      Cons

      Some cons about it are that there are very little good benefits for a person who would be looking to start a family and therefore choose wisely

      Work-Life Balance is Superb

      Pros

      Everything depends on your manager/department but for my situation, work-life balance is perfect 50% match up to 6% (so 3% total) Pension is really beneficial but in reality, who stays at a company for more than 20 years anymore? You are vested at 5 years There are good people here. We focus on our members but we really do focus on our employees (aside from compensation) Job shadows are offered so you can get familiar with other departments to transfer to Micromanagement is rare for my department and we have a lot of freedom to get things done the most efficient way we personally believe You will meet all of the executive management team, including CEO, within the first six months if you work in the Tukwila location

      Cons

      My biggest complaint is the pay and growth. Once someone goes into a management role at one of the main locations, they are happy to be there are about 10 years and clogs the system. The majority of upper management positions are filled through outside employees, and I understand why, but they need to look within and train better. Pay is well below market value and HR employees have goals to stay within parameters of the job title. Expect pay to be 10-25% lower than other companies for the same role because of the pension and us being "not for profit." Expect to do more than your job title. You will be wearing at least three different hats but you will be paid for the "lowest" hat
