Pros

They provide the tools to get the job done- extensive training, real-time resources, clean, bright and modern facilities. Culture messages from corporate make you feel appreciated and part of an important mission to protect our military families. Pay is average for the area but there is a certain pride working for USAA.

Cons

Managers don't drink the same flavor of Koolaid. Personalities are laid bare unless their director is around, or someone from the Home Office in San Antonio. Gossip is not only encouraged but you can be rewarded for dishing the dirt on a coworker the manager dislikes. Never had a problem when I was a simple policy writer but once you get into a higher position the management quality deteriorates to the point where whole teams despise coming to work and resumes start flying.

Pros

Life work balance, great benefit package and nice colleagues. The goal of the company is providing the best service to its members. So, they treat employees the best to encourage them to do the same for members.

Cons

Slow IT support, limited interactions with industry. Banking business is not as mature as insurance.
