Wilmington-based WSFS is still hiring.
In March, the company hired nearly 20 people. Fifteen were hired in a virtual process that included a virtual orientation.
The bank is seeking about 80 candidates and nearly 100 interns, primarily in Delaware and Pennsylvania, and will continue virtual interviews.
The minimum hourly rate has been $15 an hour for several years now and is continually reviewed as the financial institution moves into other areas.
WSFS routine branch services are now drive-thru, with 32 branches ATM only.
Associates are paid for their full weekly schedule, even if their hours are reduced. Bonuses are being offered to frontline employees of $500 to $650 who will receive up to 14 days of paid leave for childcare or other events related to coronavirus.
Why do we do this? Like our CEO said, “at WSFS Bank, our Associates’ health, wellbeing and safety is our top priority. As we do our best on behalf of our associates, by extension, we are also caring for our customers and our communities,” stated Roger Levenson, WSFS CEO.
