Pros

Good benefits and pto accrual, great maternity leave.

Cons

The company is all about the numbers. Working on the phones, you’ll be micromanaged on ever changing metrics, you’ll be timed on how long your calls are, the time it takes you to solve the issue, did you comply with measures they’ve come up with (often not having anything to do with rules and regulations but more so just what they want), did you offer a product on every call and you’ll be timed on your time between calls. You're expected to take care of account follow up between back to back calls, you’ve got to convince the members to stay with the company even if our premiums are far higher than our competitors, they'll say they want feedback but it is lip service so they can say they stand for one thing but will not follow up and fix systems or processes unless profitable for them. Systems will go down and information will not be available to perform your job and you’ll still be held accountable. If bathroom breaks take you longer than 10 minutes, many managers are requiring reps to use pto. Once you’re on the phones, it’s incredibly difficult to get off. You’ll receive a precanned letter with no direction or guidance as to how to proceed even if you’re over qualified. It definitely a “who ya know” company, forget progressing if you’re not a “yes man” or if you don’t have the right connections.

Pros

A few industry standard practices, wfh, flexible hours, your boss doesnt care what you do and that can be great for contractors... I hear the benefits are great for employees, but at the cost of giving up your soul and natural talents.

Cons

No one knows anything, they just do what there told, a militant's paradise that actually rewards incompetence... how weird! you can get away with criminal activity as long as you "do what your told", cameras and voice recorders everywhere! somebody put this company is deep audit, no wonder so many employees are mentally ill.. seriously walk around and and people watch... typical pyramid structure where the sheep at the bottom suffer the most intellectually and spiritually. USAA is a follower and a copycat in the financial industry, not a leader. Smart people will not work at USAA for the long haul until massive changes have been made.

Pros

Salary, bonuses, flexibility, diversity of co-workers

Cons

Constant change, particularly in management. Be careful of who you work for. They might throw you under the bus for their mistake, then run over you with it.
