Current Employee – been working at U.S. Bank

Pros – Vacation and holiday benefits are great.

Cons – Management strictly follows guidelines for rating employees and does not make exceptions when it would make sense to- i.e. fmla absenses, time off for doctor's appointments- they are all counted as a negative attendance rating on monthly development scores and they should not be.
Management does not care when you have FMLA absences.
Bad pay in comparison to other companies, and very poor raises given annually.

Advice to Senior Management – Give better raises out to employees who show their dedication. And review FMLA policies with your managers who handle the employees Monthly Plans before US Bank ends up getting sued.

Pros – Not too much work pressure.
Comparable compensation.
401k match and pension.
couple of times I got chance to learn new technologies

Cons – Micro management by middle management.
Occasional work from home is not company wide policy it is completely at the mercy of supervisor.
No scope of internal transfers.
Even technical trainings team members do not have choice to choose, training selection is also by management.
My immediate supervisor doubts I am really sick or not even for a half a day sick time.

Advice to Senior Management – Things like occasional work from home, choice to technologies for training should be more or corporate culture rather than full whims of manager.
Internal transfers should be made easier and simple.

Current Employee – been working at U.S. Bank

Pros – One of the few growing banks, conservative in investments, not one of the "big banks" people hate, senior management is pretty direct,

Cons – Stingy with benefits relative to other banks as well as stingy with perks on simple things such as coffee in the office. If you want to direct deposit your paycheck, you are required to deposit the whole check into a US Bank account.

Advice to Senior Management – A little more expenditure for employee comfort would make the workplace much more enjoyable. Also, focus on improving Information Technology for employees and customers, which currently feels outdated.

Current Employee – been working at U.S. Bank

Pros – There is room for advancement, company is well positioned and their outlook for growth and expansion is bright. I appreciate and applaud their concern for customer service. and Richard K Davis is a great leader that has slowly implemented some technoly to the bank.

Cons – No work life balance, this company pushes sales goals all the time, compensation is not great. Bonuses are based on share and compare group and the perfomance no matter how well will not always be rewarded, instead you will see branches with small sales goals succeed with little or no work. Health plans have little to no coverage, employees paychecks are sometimes covering health care expenses. Technology is also very slow, not keeping pace with other large commercial competitors.

Advice to Senior Management – Take a look at some of your upper management and their sales approach, they will push and push and when things dont go right they will turn their back on their employees. You also need to improve your healt plans, they are still expensive, based on your compensation and record profits, it would be nice to invest on your employees.

Current Employee – been working at U.S. Bank

Pros – Great pay and great people.

Cons – You never know when something may change or when they will decide to change guidelines until the day they go into effect sometimes. Meaning you left scrambling for answers sometimes and people who are supposed to be above you cannot always assist you with problems or questions.

Advice to Senior Management – More training for those who need it. Not the ones who do not. Need more clear direct responses to problems and or questions. Getting a bunch of different answers to one question makes it extremely difficult to perform the job at times. I also think that employees individual performance needs to out weigh what is happening inside a group.

Former Employee – worked at U.S. Bank

Pros – They promote within.
CEO Richard Davis vision for company is positive.
Good work is rewarded well.
Training is very good.
I loved my job and looked forward to retiring with this company

Cons – At times felt like I was in high school do to the district management (a lot of back stabbing)
If not liked (personal reason) at district office you are black balled
Consist within job titles and treatment not there

Advice to Senior Management – Richard Davis is amazing and he should be more aware of what is happening in other regions. When you see a large turn over in one area, it may just be the upper management.
