Pros

U.S. Bank is stable parent company. Entry and mid-level people strive to do a good job and are genuinely nice people. If you keep your head down, you can stay there forever and build up decent long-term benefits. Good Knoxville employer.

Cons

Upper management is not aligned. Not a lot of upper career advancement within Elavon. Tend to talk a lot of strategy but do not put any real value (funding/resources) in execution. Constantly go through "no new hires, no spending, no travel" periods. Bank regulatory environment makes it tough to be a nimble competitor.

Pros

Advancement possible for those driven to move up. The best way to advance is to take initiative and start doing the job you want to have.

Cons

Takes on innovation in fits and starts. Rarely listens to employees on how to improve or allocates resources but often brings in outside consultants or leadership who wreak havoc then leave leaving long term employees to deal with the aftermath

Pros

Autonomy, work-life balance, potential for income, although diminished from what it used to be. Benefits are still decent, but also diminished from what they used to be.

Cons

Pay and benefits are declining at an alarming pace. Benefits continue to diminish each year, along with compensation, while expectations of performance increase. Management reeks of cronyism, bordering on corporate inbreeding. Expect frequent and continuous threats from management. Fear and intimidation are the foundation of their management philosophy. There is a scene in the movie, 12 Years a Slave, when the cotton is weighed at the end of the day. This scene perfectly captures the spirit of the "daily calls". This isn't a career path to invest in long term. You deserve better, don't waste your time at this company.
