      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at USAA (Tampa, FL) in Jun 2018

      Interview

      Internal Hire, had to be a current USAA employee in good standing and with required licenses. Although it was not open to non-USAA employees, I felt the previous interview examples were a good indicator as to what I would have been asked.

      Anonymous Interview Candidate

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at USAA in Jan 2016

      Interview

      Recruiter called me and asked about my qualifications and set up an interview. I did a drug test and background check before interview. Coming from a Reputable Financial Advisor job I can tell you this is not a Financial Advisor position. I met with the managers who were dressed in jeans. Yes Jeans!!! I was in a nice suit and was confused why the managers during the interview were so dressed down. They asked me pretty simple questions and we did role play exercises. During the role playing I was told "this is a one and done sale". To my surprise I was used to being a full service financial advisor with a holistic view of peoples finances and building relationships. Another company seeming not to care about the well being of there military members. Sad
