U.S. Bank reviews

-There is absolutely no say in how things are done if you are junior- you are just expected to "do your job". -There are no promotions. Period. -Benefits package is horrible. Minimal health, dental, vision and the insurance companies are all MN based, which causes difficulties finding doctors who will take your insurance in some regions. -The company is taking a cutthroat, top-tier investment bank approach to doing business in spite of the fact that it's just not that type of business. The company wants it both ways- become involved in the top deals (or else) but at the same time don't take on any "unnecessary risks". Of course, unnecessary really means "any risk at all". -Most of the bosses (in the NY office anyway) take a "work is life" approach. Staying at the office past 9-10 PM is not uncommon under certain bosses. -"Face time" is absolutely essential for survival. -Credit officers are not always forward thinking. At times some officers can be stuck in a 70's or 80's style train of thought. -Minimal support for returning to school to earn MBA/CFA.

You are paid next to nothing. During annual reviews, the ones that determine if you receive a raise or not, they find every possibility to tell you you are doing good but not good enough to warrant a raise. They have outrageous goals that are never met by anyone in the region yet you are told you need to reach those goals every single day. Branch management is usually full of shady salesmen and inept managers who are only in their positions because they never moved on from the bank 10 years ago. There is such high turnover due to low pay and branch management feeling the need to use the little power they have to show who is in charge. The computers are from the 90's so you spend most of your day waiting or resetting a computer.
