Pros

Compensation, benefits and opportunity for advancements. More importantly honesty and integrity. They give their employees a fair opportunity to balance work and home life. Overall they do a great job of implementing the "Three legged Stool" of equally focusing on the Member, Employees and Company. This is definitely the best company to work for.

Cons

Cost of goods thru Sodexo. Management tends to have their favorites and it seems that they focus more on promoting those individuals. Sometimes there appears to be a greater focus on the bottom line (products sold) versus whether or not you did was best for your member.

Pros

The benefits and the pay.

Cons

Sell, sell, sell - even if someone was just calling in asking about charges, etc.... I actually was written up for not offering someone that was over $2,000 in the hole a CREDIT CARD!!! Talk about issuing someone a shovel when they are in the hole. I figured we would never get paid the arrears, and then to give them a credit card with a 5 grand limit ---- HELLO!

Pros

USAA is great for career advancement because the company is very large and has a variety of career opportunites. There is ample communication between management and staff with a company website and different vehicle for posting ideas and greivances. Recently there was a change at CEO and this has definately impoved the company for the better as the new CEO is interested in employees and happiness and balance. The compensation could be better, but opportunity and appreciation make up for this short coming.

Cons

The work/life balance is off . Enployees are tethered to a blackberry and can be called at any time. The job required more than 40 hours regularly and it was pretty high stress. Also, the salary could be improved for what is expected.
