U.S. Bank Reviews

Pros

Get to meet a lot of people.
You gain some skills
Stable Company

Cons

The pay is less than what it takes to live on
The management has unrealistic expectations
There is not a lot of chance to advance

Pros

In my 2ish years with U.S. Bank, I've gone from Personal Banker I to a Regional Banking Representative, thanks to the directive of my direct management, and the vision of the company. U.S. Bank is ranked one of the strongest - if not the strongest - banks in the nation. Its conservative approach to banking may mean the bank doesn't evolve as quickly in some areas as its main competitors, but it also means that each major step is well vetted, and will produce effective results, for employees, customers, and shareholders. I'm proud to say I work for U.S. Bank, and hope to retire from this great company.

Cons

Get rid of employees when it's clear they can't or won't learn, and are simply sucking on a paycheck. That's my only gripe.

Advice to Senior Management

Expand to the East Coast. U.S. Bank spans the majority of the nation, in terms of West Coast, to Intermountain West, to the Midwest, and Ohio River Valley - now it's time to move into Texas, the South, and the East/NorthEast. It's time to bring U.S. Bank's great brand and service to a truly nationwide level.
