Pros

free checking account for employees, its wonderful being able to help customers realize their dreams. Policies and procedures are well thought out and clearly written. Operationally sound.

Cons

Like being micromanaged? How about promotions and recogntion not to those qualified but rather to whomever has the best suck-up ability? Have ethics and believe in doing something right rather than just to get approal from the analysts? Then US Bank might indeed be a good place for you to work. The pervasiveness of such behavior starts at least at the top of retail banking within the Cincinnati market

Pros

The pay is market average, and the benefits are quite good. I love my peers. The vast majority of them are kind and talented people. I truly enjoyed my first several years with the company. Well past the honeymoon period for a new employer. And at the time, I recommended this place to anyone I knew looking for a job.

Cons

Management is a mess from the bottom up. The culture of the company has drastically changed over the last several years because of frequent retirements, layoffs, and reorganizations. Employees I know from across describe the same experience: the company has gone from outstanding culture to one that feels openly hostile to its employees. Management decisions are built like cudgels and enforced through all stick and no carrot.
