Pros

Pay is decent for the local area. For the industry it's lower than average. The focus on work-life balance USED to make up for this but unfortunately it seems that's on it's way out... 401k match was good at around 8%. Had great management at the local levels - in my experience at least. Higher they are though, less so by far. Especially the top-most levels.

Cons

When I started here I loved it because USAA clearly valued their employees as human beings first and foremost and had a great work-life balance. That was then and this is now however...Over the past 1-1.5 years there has clearly been a big shift...rumors are that if you live within 60 miles of an office you will be forced to return to office 4x days a week and it will contribute to performance review...I couldn't imagine spending 1.5+ hours twice a day driving 60 miles into an office 4x days a week to then get online and join a zoom meeting because we never have in-person meetings in-office regardless... The worst part is during COVID and while we were remote our productivity was through the roof and awards continued to come in...makes 0 sense for them to do this...unless they are trying to thin the ranks and avoid paying severance o_0 Regardless, this company made it to the 100-year mark because of their long-term strategy and focus on members AND employees as human beings first and foremost....with their current short sighted focus on $$$$ I doubt we'll see it happen again.

Pros

Life work balance, great benefit package and nice colleagues. The goal of the company is providing the best service to its members. So, they treat employees the best to encourage them to do the same for members.

Cons

Slow IT support, limited interactions with industry. Banking business is not as mature as insurance.
