Pros

PTO is good. They're providing a generous severance package

Cons

I know a decorated disabled vet less than a year before retirement who has been laid off. I think this is important because it is an indication of how they no longer seem to support employees who were in the military. They have fewer and fewer people in management (including Wayne Peacock - Peacock is the first chief executive without a military background to lead USAA in its 100-year history) I think these management changes are responsible for the cutbacks and layoffs. The USAA motto is "We know what it means to serve" how can that be true if the CEO doesn't?

Has gone downhill

Pros

Pay is competitive, although bonus is being reduced each year.

Cons

Return to office mandate, including tracking attendance. Lack of remote opportunities. CEO’s salary doubled after a non-profitable year, including layoffs and reduced benefits for employees. No longer a best-in-class employer. Lack of transparency and trust in EMG. Feels like the company is slowly sinking. Removal of opportunities to share their opinions anonymously, and fear of retribution.

Not what it once was

Pros

Hybrid opportunities. Beautiful campuses, with multiple cafeterias, with full service Starbucks and company store. Employee recognition programs. Tuition reimbursement and development hours. Education support and training. On-site medical services and gym. Gym reimbursement for those who are fully remote. Various positions are available laterally. PTO can be purchased or sold. Diversity groups are available as well as volunteer programs to support local communities.

Cons

Shift diff reduced to 15%. Call center positions are a one-way street making it difficult to transition to the upper levels. High call volumes make it difficult to take time off. Call after call. The constant changing and rearranging of rules, leadership, and departments. Leadership is disconnected from the frontline. Morale has been down due to high attrition and heavy workloads. Insurance agents and claim adjusters are becoming more customer service/sales than the licensed advisors they once were. Benefits reducing. Removing employee benefits that employees looked forward too. Bonus significantly reduced. Diversity isn't measured making it easily forgotten about or just something to check the box off and say we have it.
