U.S. Bank reviews

The level of pay is atrocious. The training is done via onilne, conference calls, and idiot trainers that are always trying to get out of anwering questions just so they can go home early. The bank forces it's employees to go to employee events but refuses to pay them. The incentive plan is centered around how many overdraft charges the bank can charge a customer in a given three month period before sending them off to collections.

Poor career development - My manager has no clue about this. Compared to other companies like Best Buy and Target where management is very involved in making career path information available, our management here is woefully inept and/or ill equipped. I have been in several areas of the bank and it is pervasive. Low salaries. Insufficient management training and/or selection. The criteria used for selecting managers appears to be based primarily on how long a person has been in their respective area and not if their personality and skill set qualify them to lead a group of people. Knowledge and experience alone are not enough. Managers should have interpersonal, team building and leadership skills also. In my opinion, the latter are more important than the former. A monkey can be trained - a leader has intrinsic ability. Not everyone is a leader.
