Pros

Great benefits, pay, and with onsite cafeteria, gym, starbucks, and several other restaurants. Great manager always listens and takes action.

Cons

company as a whole can be very cumbersome with its size of the business, you feel like your an ant on an anthill. sales is always being crammed down your throat, but yet no commission. constantly changing with new ideas and innovations, then its up to frontline reps answering the phones to handle the abrasive members that call in pissed off b/c of decisions made by head honchos. uneducated 3rd party reps answering calls after hours giving out wrong info., then when i get to work during regular business hours, we have to clean up the mess left behind.

Pros

Great benefits and bonus package. Nice campus / fitness center / (physically) secure environment. Love the mission of USAA and taking care of our military community. Best group of people I have ever worked with on the front line - extremely caring to each other as well as our membership.

Cons

Too much. I love what I do but too much of anything will bring you down. I agree with continued change to stay current and improve processes. However, it seems there are people trying to justify their jobs by creating new tasks, processes, "hey let's try this this week" - that we question what is the procedure today. I agree with a prior comment that upper management needs to spend time on the front line so they can experience what they are doing to us. It seems the USAA mission is to find ways to make a claims job as complex as possible. Anyone who has ever handled claims knows the job in itself is extremely challenging. By adding all of the templates, referrals, action plans, make sure to put this in this box because someone somewhere needs to collect data for something. It gets extremely overwhelmin - especially when working in a area that has continuous confrontation with people on liability and damage issues. More than 50% of our contact is non-member. Let's get back to the basics of claim handling and treat us like the professionals we are.
