Work Culture

When we say we value our people, we mean it. Employees at HomeStreet are appreciated for their hard work and the difference they make to our customers and our company.

"I am so proud to work for HomeStreet. Our state of the art technology, supportive staff, and dedication towards outstanding customer service at all levels helps me excel at my job and have fun while I'm doing it." Kris Berglund, Senior Loan Officer & Branch Manager

Partnership

While there are various ways to describe the relationships between all of us who work at HomeStreet Bank, we are, fundamentally, a partnership. Partnership means that all employees share a responsibility for our success or failure. It is only through our joint efforts that HomeStreet has been able to thrive and succeed over the years.

Diversity

"As a Seattle native with a 30-year career in the local banking industry, I can truly say that HomeStreet Bank offers a unique experience for those who work in the financial services industry in the Pacific Northwest. As a family– and employee–owned company, HomeStreet offers the opportunity for employees to develop to their full professional potential. By encouraging cultural awareness and an appreciation for people of different backgrounds, we contribute to the success of our employees and our company."
Joan Enticknap, President and Chief Operating Officer

Equal Employment Opportunity

Equal employment opportunity is a fundamental HomeStreet belief. We practice fair and equal treatment of everyone, regardless of race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, creed, political ideology, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, or the presence, history or perception of having any sensory, mental or physical disability. In addition, we ensure compliance with federal, state, and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment. This philosophy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation, and training.
