What people are saying about USAA

USAA

Did anyone feel after that meeting that the CEO didn’t really address the forced RTO issue properly, as a new hire it’s discouraging to see how they treated the people who did put in all those years to Usaa tk force them to RTO when they where always remote . What do we have to look foreword to if that’s what can happen to people who have been here before Covid . The attitude of to bad so sad give your all to USAA and but then that’s how you treat the people with seniority is very apparent.USAA

      Pros

      The benefits are amazing and the amenities on campus are great

      Cons

      Work load was immense and required numerous overtime to stay on task. Lack of managerial knowledge of complex tasks required. If you like being a robot, this is the department for you.

        Pros

        USAA is a great company that truly believes in servicing members of the military, members first. USAA had great benefits when I started in 2019 but slowly started to change to not so good above competitors. It’s overall a good place to work overall.

        Cons

        It’s cliquish, San Antonians get preferential treatment so if you’re an outsider, it’s not easy to maneuver and be productive.

              Cons

              It's a call center. You must adhere to a strict schedule so limited time to network or make friends and no chance at getting promoted to the area you want to grow with company. Strict means two 20 min breaks and a 35 min lunch for 8-10 hour shift. The rest of the time it's back to back phone calls to barely drink water.

                    Great benefits for employees but you have to work here for a year or more to receive them.

                    Cons

                    Managers dont listen and will not help you at all. People are not treated equally expecially if your a military veteran like myself, the civilians dont know how to handle you. Then you'll be an outcast and you will be targeted like myself.

                        Pros

                        Starting out as a new college hire, this is a great place to work. They start by introducing you to the company and its mission and values (which the company truly does follow). After that they put you through a training program that teaches the USAA development environment. I was afraid this was going to be just a 'here's how to program class', but instead it was a really useful opportunity where I became friends with other new hires, learned how to use the development environment, and got to work on real work from teams in a learning environment. USAA also has a program called Nexus for new college hires where you hang out and network with other college hires (You can be a member of this for three years after joining). Along with this, USAA has a program called Aspire which is about helping women in tech. As a female in tech this is a really great place to work. My team has almost an equal number of women as men. The benefits are great and my manager really encourages using your own initiative and asking questions. All of the management is super friendly, and I can go to anyone in the office and talk to them. I really love working here, and I love how much this company truly focuses on serving the members.

                        Cons

                        My pay isn't as good as if I worked at google, but it is adequate for a single person living in this area. I might have given up a higher salary, but I feel great every day because I know what I am doing is helping make our member's lives better and easier.

                      Senior Graphic Designer

                      Hello all- I have a question. Context: I've completed a four-stage interview process for a design position at a large retail corp. The final interview on Nov 15 went very well! I sent thank-you notes that week and last holiday week sent flowers and an edible arrangement, thanking and asking about next steps. They said they have been busy + will reach out soon. It's almost been two weeks. They have been so eager the entire process and now it's quiet. Should I email them again? Is this normal?

                      Analyst

                      For anyone who has ever gone through an interview process, only to be told at the end that the role is on hold (due to budget review or such) have you ever actually gotten reached out again with an update? It happened to me today so just wanting to see if it makes sense to just treat this as a rejection even if i was told there might be an update.
