Pros

Hybrid schedule, PTO, campus amenities

Cons

Leadership is not transparent; they ask for truth and accountability but will only listen if you are a “yes” person. They have shifted from employee focused to doing whatever it takes to keep the scorecard green, encouraging bully behavior and unethical practices. Your direct supervisor can be great but if those above are stuck in their ways, you will not get anywhere. People with less business acumen and experience get promoted and recognized, and HR will blame it on the “business” when there is proof of favoritism.

Pros

Work from home Okay benefits Managers are nice Great training that will put you in demand for the next company.

Cons

USAA used to be a GREAT place to work but has declined tremendously in the last 2-3 years. EVERYBODY in claims is burnt out. During training, you’ll fall in love with the dream that they’ll sell you. Once you hit the floor, you will take back to back calls (not a second between calls) while trying to manage a ridiculously large work load. You will be monitored/disciplined for taking unscheduled bathroom breaks or frowned upon for taking your scheduled PTO. Nothing you ever do will be enough. They’ll want more. There is little to no room to grow as USAA would rather hire outside then promote within. Some things you’ll be asked to do are unethical and border on illegal. This company is going downhill super fast and there is currently a mass exodus going on. I’m so happy I got out after 8yrs! Besides being a horrible place to work, USAA also pays a lot lower than most insurance carriers.

Pros

I always had great, compassionate managers who helped me develop into a better employee. The amount of PTO is great with the option the purchase more. The work/life balance is good for those who refuse to work more than 40 hours and good for those who choose to work overtime for more money. (Claims adjusters are paid an hourly rate.)

Cons

Everything started going downhill over the last 2 years. It's pathetic to say but a pandemic made everything tolerable until the phone volume skyrocketed back up again because of mismanagement in our non-injury department. Our annual bonus was going down at an alarming rate and I saw myself make less and less money each year. They restructured it but I was still making less money than my peers who went to different companies. I also saw my peers fail to move out of claims; claims is like a cult and they don't seem to want to let their valuable, underpaid claims adjusters pursue careers in other departments. The benefits used to be amazing: I was hired in when the bonus used to be 18-19%, an education credit card given instead of reimbursement, etc. Watching the c-suite be slow to action as employees were leaving and then changing benefits to be "competitive" when they really just made it clear we were no longer the same company proud to support our military members and their families made me realize it wasn't worth staying. That's on top of an intranet advice article recommending employees get a second job to make more money and seeing my social security tax being added to our "total rewards" (that's what they call the benefits, retirement & salary package) really pissed me off.
