U.S. Bank Reviews in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN Area
-
Pros
Stable corporation in an industry experiencing turmoil; good business model. Current senior leadership has steered this ship well (if you'll pardon the metaphor).
Decent benefits and employee perks.
Flexible schedule for technology employees.Cons
Poor career development - My manager has no clue about this. Compared to other companies like Best Buy and Target where management is very involved in making career path information available, our management here is woefully inept and/or ill equipped. I have been in several areas of the bank and it is pervasive.
Low salaries.
Insufficient management training and/or selection. The criteria used for selecting managers appears to be based primarily on how long a person has been in their respective area and not if their personality and skill set qualify them to lead a group of people. Knowledge and experience alone are not enough. Managers should have interpersonal, team building and leadership skills also. In my opinion, the latter are more important than the former. A monkey can be trained - a leader has intrinsic ability. Not everyone is a leader.Advice to Senior Management
Please address the 'cons' above.
