Pros

Medical benefits Work at home feature Convenience of having a Starbucks and cafe when you are working int he building.

Cons

1. executive management. Usaa has hired in so many non-military execs from for-profit companies that its changed the culture of USAA. That is supported by the recent change in the mission statement. 2. uses the mission and core values as a marketing tool and not a fundamental root of the business anymore. 3. Non-executive management used to be highly regarded. Since they were on the front lines, they were involved in decision making which ultimately translated to benefits and growth for USAA and the Membership. Now decisions are made by remote Business Advisors who are not in touch with the reality for the membership or made by the method of hippo (highest paid persons opinion). And, they are are not the best Stewarts of the company as they do not have the exposure but go off very condensed and edited information that they receive. USAA has made changes to retirement plans and insurance subsidies to exclude many benefits for future and current retirees effective 2024.

Pros

Life work balance, great benefit package and nice colleagues. The goal of the company is providing the best service to its members. So, they treat employees the best to encourage them to do the same for members.

Cons

Slow IT support, limited interactions with industry. Banking business is not as mature as insurance.
