Pros

BECU offers a robust benefits package. Benefits include paid holidays, generous paid time off and annual incentive programs, 401k, Orca card transit pass, gift matching, 12hrs paid to volunteer, medical/dental, Be Well Program that reimburses funds spent to support health and well being, etc. I love that they're involved in my community and support so many local events and organizations.

Their headquarters are located in Tukwila. Pro to this is that they allow you to work from home when possible.
