What a mess

Pros

Great healthcare. 401k match is 8% if you put in 4%. Overall work life balance is good, but there are pockets of overworked.

Cons

Where to begin. Executive Management is a mess with everything being decided in a secretive way at VP level and higher. I was in the room with my AVP when the Bank reorg was announced and she was as blind sided as I was. The executive team is actively trying to drive attrition to avoid severance and reduce headcount. I have never been bait and switched harder or more regularly than at usaa. There is no empowerment to decide anything if you’re not EMG and you cannot be anything but wrong most of the time. There is no growth to Director level or higher. There are no plans to help you acquire more skills. Managers are being pressured by executives to place employees on improvement plans or give them lower ratings to further drive attrition. Finally their RTO policy is horrid, making anyone within 60 miles commute in 4x a week come January.

Run Away

Pros

Only a paycheck. Absolutely nothing more. Run Away from the current USAA.

Cons

USAA has collapsed in past 2 years. Half bonus, half shift differential, eliminate retirement plus plan. More work and roles per employee than ever before. 7 year employee. Yet, Executives have expanded their own pay and benefits and pay with largest net company profits ever ($6 Billion in net profit for 2020). I would not wish this job on my worst enemy. USAA used to be a great company, but that company no longer exists. Our Claims department has lost 54% of our staff within the last year. I will be leaving soon as well. I would not stay at USAA for double the pay. Honestly, do not destroy your life by working for USAA. If you do, remember this; I told you so. Yes, it really is that bad.

Horrible place to work

Pros

Unlimited over-time because they are desperately seeking employees because after employees are hired on and begin work they realize how bad things are and they quit. Room for growth.

Cons

Lack of proper training. You are thrown on the phones without knowing exactly how you clock in and out. Company is completely unorganized. Any extra training you need. You don't get until You get a bad survey. First bad survey is a verbal recorded warning. Second bad survey is a written warning. I was hired through Teleperformance which also lacks proper training. I have been with USAA for 90 days and their licensing still doesn't have me licensed in the states so I can do the main job I was hired for. Usaa doesn't take care of their members or their employees. Your calls and computer monitors are recorded at all times and if QA sees you're not using their KC article you get a bad monitor. You can not keep a member on hold more than 2 minutes and it could be a 45 min call bc you're trying to find the correct KC article to go over with the member. If you trytoget a hold of 3P another form of help. There is usually a 20 minute wait time. The pay is not worth the stress of the job.
