Pros

The bank is financially sound because they are ultra-conservative in their lending practices.

Cons

Salaries are some of the lowest in the market. No merit increases, no cost of living increases. Upper management has made it nearly impossible to earn incentive. Even if you pull your weight and exceed expectations, all it takes is one person getting a bad customer service score to negate bonuses for ALL employees. Computers are all ancient. They upload new programs to the computers but never adjust for processors or memory, so the systems are constantly locking up and slow. This results in poor customer service scores, which in turn results in no incentive payout for employees due to circumstances completely beyond their control. Management is inconsistent with policies. Sales goals are unrealistic. In short, go somewhere else if you want to work in the banking industry. US Bank is a waste of time and energy. They don't care about their employees. I am hesitant to tell people where I work.

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.
