Pros

- Flexible on location - Great benefits

Cons

- Salary is far too low for the job being done - Misled on career opportunities and moving up within the company - Despite being in a quantitative field, moving up within the company is largely political, and a popularity contest. - Job typically gets more difficult over time as new requirements are constantly added. - When hired, the offer is misleading in that it includes the annual bonus as part of your annual salary. The annual bonus widely varies; the reported average is often nowhere near what is actually paid out. In fact, it's usually far less.

Pros

USAA has great benefits and a strong company culture. The 401K match is 8% and there is usually a retirement-plus added 401k bonus in February. There is an on-site gym, clinic, and cafe with half-priced "healthy" options.

Cons

The mortgage department has a new executive leadership team that has been difficult to work with. I am currently carrying the loan volume of two people, but they keep saying the average pipeline size is about 35-38, so why do I have the pleasure of carrying 55 loans? It is not acceptable to have employees working overtime for 5 months (and that isnt ending anytime soon).

Pros

• Amazing Benefits • Yearly Bonus • Parental Leave for moms and dads • Company mission • Serving our military men and women and their families

Cons

• Extremely stressful, especially during purchase season. • The culture has really changed since General Joe left, and NOT in a good way. • Management stresses that you should have a work/life balance but limits approvable PTO per team so severely that it is hard to get approved time off. • OT is micromanaged to the extent that you are made to feel like you are taking advantage of it when in reality you are already so exhausted by Monday at 5pm because you worked all weekend just to keep your head above water, and all you really want to do is spend time with your family. • Management does not appropriately plan for influx of loans and department turnover. Hiring additional staff in the middle of purchase season that will be trained by the END of purchase season is too little, too late. Current employees are already crying at their desks due to stress. • Loan processing system goes down at the most inconvenient times and there are so many work arounds to the work arounds that it’s ridiculous. • IT help desk is hit or miss. If you get someone that is competent your computer issue may be resolved in 10 minutes, otherwise your looking at a 45 minute phone call that accomplishes nothing and ends up in an escalated ticket with no ETA on when the issue will be resolved. • Quality metrics are laughable as 9 times out of 10 one hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing.
