Broken Promises: I was hired as a contractor with a promise of a position after 90 days. 60 days in I was offered a spot in a more Sr role but two weeks after, it was rescinded due to a “hiring freeze.” Months later, I was hired into a lower role with no explanation or follow-up on the senior position.
• Low Morale: U.S. Bank reported nearly $3 billion in profits by mid-year, yet employees are stretched thin. Thats enough to give every employee nearly 30k each. The company’s “Customer Service Appreciation Week” is insulting, offering pizza parties and thank-you emails instead of real, tangible support. These gestures feel patronizing given the increased workload, lack of sufficient vacation time (I got SIX hours after a year), unaffordable health benefits, and announced changes to office locations on the first day of the "appreciation" week.
• Lack of Flexibility: The first day of CSAW, the company announced that they are relocating many offices to a more distant area, (30 MILES DIFFERENT FOR ME) significantly increasing commuting times and costs for many employees. This decision only adds to the burden of working for US Bank.
• Expensive Health Benefits: The cost of health insurance is disproportionate to the pay rate, making it difficult for employees like me to afford basic healthcare.
