I have been in this position for a while, and haven't had to interview in a number of years.
I get paid to do my job. I can generally pay my bills on time, and I'm not homeless. But otherwise, the company considers their employees to be cogs in a wheel.
Focus on their employees. "Service" is the focus for 2026, but their compensation increases are not even keeping with inflation. As a tenured employee with the bank, the prior executives were more motivating. I don't know anyone here who feels motivated to provide good service.
Accounting for inflation, I make the same that I did 5 years ago. US Bank's policy is that it does not account for COL when considering compensation. It's supposedly all "merit based". Which is convenient, because their fees continue to increase, and their revenue continues to increase.
