      Pros

      promotions happen fast if you are willing to put in the time

      Cons

      Long work hours, hard to be promoted into other areas of company or make connections with groups. Will say that there is work life balance unless you really need balance then won't allow you to have time off (earned)

        Pros

        US Bank realizes that family and your health comes first and they provide an opportunity for a flexible work/life balance.

        Cons

        Very conservative, lack technology for personnel, seems to make tasks and applications more difficult than easier.

            Pros

            Great company mission & values. It makes it easy to champion the company.

            Cons

            Lots of talk about streamlining headcount which ultimately increase workloads and decreases work life balance.

              Pros

              It depends on which market you are in but the Twin Cities has a fairly decent work life balance. Vacation time is decent. Benefits package is comparable to other banks in the area

              Cons

              Pay is not even close to their competitors. Management uses the market to explain why raises are not what they should be (cost of living increases do not exist) but then announce top earnings and huge bonuses for the executives.

                Pros

                Customer focus, training tools, audit process

                Cons

                There are too many people setting priorities. Each email is a 'Top' priority. They say they want a good work/life balance for their employees but that does not apply to management.

                    Pros

                    Better work life balance as the banking center hours were not as long as the previous bank I worked for

                    Cons

                    The training was HORRIBLE their was only 1 trainer out of the 4 that truly new what she was doing. you would ask questions and they would not have an answer nor offer to investigate to get one and get back with you. Benefits were HORRIBLE it was the worst healthcare plan I have ever had in my professional life. The management and technology were extremely poor. I had a manager with a very tenured staff, placed me at one of the largest locations and never spent more than 3 days with me to train me the entire year I was there and any action plans were overwhelming as they were like 13 pages long. They want you to compete with other national banks but do not give you the training or tools technology wise to proceed. Coming from a place that was a leader in technology it was extremely hard to get acclimated especially with the exceptionally poor manager I had.

                        Pros

                        It’s a great company to work for. It provides great work life balance and the people that work at the bank are great.

                        Cons

                        Merit increases at the bank are very low. This is one downside and pay is not based on performance like they say.
