I recommend reading the Chase Reviews...
Pros: (These comments may not amount to much as WaMu merges with Chase in the coming months and many benefits are restructured.)

The culture is very friendly, open and given to rewarding individual and team performance through public recognition.  Weekly messages from Senior Management are the norm and individuals are recognized to a wide audience.  There are multiple other recognition programs focused on rewarding individuals with awards ranging from small (trinkets and food) to large (cash, trips).  

The benefits package is healthy, in terms of health programs and bonuses.

Career opportunities are supported through vertical and horizontal advancement.  Entry-level to employees are frequently promoted to management positions within a matter of months.  Transfers between teams and departments are also frequent.
Cons: First and foremost:  this company is, of course, about to cease to exist.  The merger with Chase will undoubtedly result in a culture change, many job losses and the closure of multiple branches/offices.

Working in a remote back-office, perks aside from salary and health benefits are few and far between.   Free food is available a few times per year, usually associated with a campus even or holiday.  The fitness facility that was present on campus in 2005/6 was closed to make room for more conference rooms.  There is no child care on campus.  The cafeteria offers a modest selection and is quite cramped for such a large campus.
