Thread regarding USAA layoffs

100% true. I left as a manager making 60k and got a job at another bank with no one reporting to me making 92. Din’t be scared to leave!!!

I'm over 50, what the he-l are you talking about? No issues, skills are skills and emotional maturity is valued. Maybe it's time to look in the mirror and ask yourself why you're unable to get hired, because you're definitely not speaking for me or anyone I know.

I moved to PNC Bank in April, full time remote doing my exact same job (credit cards) for a higher salary and less stress, only requirement is once a quarter flying to the home office in Pittsburgh to visit my direct manger and team.

I moved to a Fintech bank in Dallas 8 months ago - same pay, 90% less stress! I wasted too much trying to help USAA - wish i’d made the jump from Bank Risk a long time ago. My career is back on track.

The longer you stay at USAA the further your skills will erode and the more difficult it will be for you to find a job somewhere else. I also left for greener pastures and it was a real eye opener. USAA is being run like some federal bureaucracy - grossly inefficient processes, waste everywhere, mindbogglingly boring work and a very good chance that your boss is an a--hole.

My new employer has fully integrated systems that actually work correctly. They have little to no red tape. I'm making more with a lot less stress.

Do yourself a favor and spread your wings. There are a lot of great jobs that pay better and are more rewarding. USAA used to be a great place to work. Those days are long gone.

Don’t worry. Most of the employees who left will be running back to USAA once the honeymoon ends where ever they’re at. Trust me. We have a ton of boomerang employees. Don’t believe the hype.

Also OP here. I’m 34 but thank you, not even close to 50. I’m not posting my company because I dont want a bunch of crazies coming for me. It’s a smaller carrier. Non standard. Go ahead and search for yourself, as I did. You’ll find tons.

I left back in April for Bank of San Antonio, same job, 3 days in office, but my pay is $8k more than what I’m making now and I got a $1500k sign on bonus. USAA can keep their holiday party for the kool aid drinkers.

Op here.. I moved to a non standard carrier, commercial insurance.

I love how all these people on here say they got much better jobs but won’t say where.

P.S. it’s not so easy to make the move when you’re over 50. Youth is wasted on the young 😛

I also left and made more money, people appreciated my skills that were taken for granted at USAA, etc. SA has a lot good financial institutions here … Security Service, RBFCU, Broadway Bank, Credit Human. Houston is booming. And honestly I can’t figure out why there’s not an ant trail of former USAAers forming consulting firms.

I agree 100%. I am finding tons of opportunity, and am pursuing my dream job in a different industry.

The pay base is 15% more than the low USAA base, bonus is 20%+, perks match or exceed what I had, and I will be a lead. Since I had been a consultant for a time before joining, I have experienced more industries than just insurance/banking, and that helped me to get this opportunity.

There are no regrets leaving as I needed to regroup mentally and psychologically, plus brush-up my dying skills (underutilized at USAA; there is too much lethargy there, and too much doing things that did not align with my career).

USAA was a real trip, but I will never visit that destination again!Thank goodness!!!!

Where did you move to?
