Pros

Great workplace amenities, benefits package and bonus opportunities Great place to work for those actively serving in the military or transitioning to civilian service Great place to work if you're not in one of the call centers

Cons

The call center operations are understaffed and extremely over worked The expectations for delivering an "exceptional customer experience" are offset by the new focus on upselling and cross-selling products There is too much micro-managing of the employees and too much focus on meeting the metrics requirements for call avg handle time, referrals, customer follow up, and working diaries Management is constantly redefining the job requirements (adding more work) but not willing to increase the base salary. You're constantly told to rely on the year end bonus which is never guaranteed. The biggest obstacles for most call center employees is getting a schedule they can work and time off to handle other things ( doctor's appts, personal buisness or even family events)

Pros

The benefits are the only thing keeping me here

Cons

Management consists of employees who have spent their entire working careers at USAA - never having worked anywhere else, much less a real call center. They have no idea how much times have changed and when they do get something (like ICE or Relationship Sales) they think it is "new" when in fact, other companies had these programs 10-15 years ago. Their systems are the worst I've ever worked with and management is very, very envious of anyone with more skills, education and ideas than them. This is definately a work-horse environment and unlike any of the call centers I've worked in for the past 20 years.
