Pros

Excellent benefits, great employees. USAA's Mission Statement to be the provider of choice for the military community.

Cons

Excellent company to work for unless you are in the customer contact areas. It is disheartening to be shuffled around like mindless cattle and moved around into different areas against your will based on service needs. The phones dictate how your day will go. It is a terrible feeling to wake up every single day and dread going to work.

Pros

The most trustworthy members in the world. USAA's prior relationship with its members is not measurable.

Cons

Abusing the trust of the members. Members get bounced around the company because management has determined that no matter what the reason for the call the member needs to be sent to a financial advisor for a "review" and "interview". Employees and contractors (!) have learned how to game the system in order to be rewarded for referring a member to a financial advisor. As a licensed financial professional be prepared to be the recipient of all kinds of calls. Member can't pay their bills, member doesn't like their money market rate, member is upset their property and casualty rates went up? Get them to a financial advisor! You'll have a "solution" for them and the transferring employee gets an attaboy by getting them to an advisor. By the way your measurements include products per hour so good luck with the bankruptcy and loan declined calls. The biggest part of your advisor measurement is "call quality" or manager like/dislike of you. You'll find out early in your advisor job who the "fast trackers" are; generally under the age of their manager and have told their manager they want to be a manager also. Voila, a manager selectee. Want to advance currently at USAA? Tell your manager the solution to every situation is a life insurance product.

Pros

Good work life balance, 8% 401k matching, unlimited overtime.

Cons

Get more people on the phones we are understaffed... i know we are growing which is great but not having team meetings, huddles, and time to catch your breath burns people out. They give unlimited over time which I love but I also cost USAA more money in the long run. In P&C had 6 Managers in 3 years, always have to prove yourself and each manager likes different things. In the end 97% get ME, make a true bell curve and cut the fat give out PM'S and reward hard workers with EE's.
