USAA

"It is a great company with great benefits, but work / life balance needs to improve. "

"Be mindful of anything said, keep documentation of everything, and have the ability to back up any and all claims. "

"Great place to work for both men and women, the only challenge is remote work is no longer preferred so advancement will only happen if you are hybrid"

"The parental benefits are unmatched in such a large company. "

"Depends on what level. Director level is where the glass ceiling starts."

"Great benefits, great remote working culture, pay is not competitive but work life balance is good"

"Women are treated equally. Generous benefits for FTE - contracting for them is tough. "

"great place for men and women. Slow paced so if you are ambitious you might have to tone down the expectations"

"Not a safe place to make mistakes. Document everything. Clique culture. Tenured employees have more value in their opinions, observations, and ideas. Not supportive of their military employees or military family members as they are their members. "

"Say farewell to work life balance as there will be none unless you are management or higher. If they wanted you to have a life or family, they'd issue schedules compatible with them. The education benefit however is second to none. Funds fronted via education card, no strings."

"Work/life balance is great for the most part. USAA needs to focus on hiring and promoting more women into leadership positions. "

"It's a good place if you need a job right away. The benefits are good. But 90% of the jobs at USAA is on the phones. It is one big call center, with a lot of rules. It is nearly impossible to transition off of the phone to a non-phone position. Even if you are qualified. I have co-workers with Master's degrees, still taking phone calls. Very hard to get promoted. I lot of favoritism that goes on behind the scenes. "

"Lots of "invisible rules" to conform too if you want to be successful. Company is slow to make decisions. Poor communication across company results in several teams working on similar projects simultaneously. Company as a whole is resistant to change- there are leaders and teams that try to push for new ideas. Heavily relationship based, rather than skills based- meaning your promotion and success lies in you grasping the "invisible rules" and being an ill-defined subjective "culture fit". "

"I love working here! They value my contributions as an equal. "

"I would tell women to be prepared to face gender inequality in key leadership roles. It's harder for women to succeed-they need to work harder for promotions, for getting hired in leadership roles, and to break stereotypes."

"Good benefits. Be ready for change. Respectful challenge is not appreciated and you may not feel heard in your expertise. "

"Advocate for yourself. Join diversity business groups. Ask questions. Point out lack of diversity in leadership and volunteer to serve as a sounding board. Ask for training in leadership early and often. Seek mentors."

"Great place to work, competitive but fair. I never felt selected or not selected based on my gender, "

"USAA is very committed to its values and understands that people need work life balance."

"It is a difficult job but a great company. Benefits are amazing. Everything (promotions, salary, bonuses) are based on performance not gender."
