USAA--Not the Same

[rjb1234]

I've been a USAA member for over 29 years and am sad they are slowly pushing me away from using their services.

First, they no longer offer homeowner isurance in Florida.  When I bought my new home I had to use a different company.  (The company USAA referred me to was almost $500 more expensive per year than the one I used.)

Second, my auto insurance went up to almost $5,000 per year to insure 3 cars.  I have had no accidents or tickets for almost 20 years.  I was able to use AAA and get the same coveage for less than half the USAA quote.

When I called to ask what ever happened to member loyalty the repr and supervisor could really care less.  It is sad to see a company sink so far in the quality it provides.  I used to rave about USAA and now I'm at the point where my raves have turned into rants.

I totally agree! I am a twenty six year member and have noticed USAA isn't the same. The customer service is not nearly the quality, caring and happy group they once were. They are becoming like the big companies. When you get too big - customer service and quality don't matter- the only thing that matters is themselves making more money.

The claims adjusters are the worst. Nothing about usaa is about the customer anymore.

I'm surprised there aren't many more agreeing with this post. I've been a member for over 50 years. In the past 10 years my home insurance (yes I live in Florida) was dropped, I have changed to another company for auto insurance, transferred my main brokerage account and am considering moving my IRA account. Why am I still with USAA? - I have an annuity that wouldn't make sense to move.

Customer service is a joke. If you suceed (have the patience) to deal with the phone answering system, you usually get someone who appears to be a trainee since they have to put you on hold any time you ask a quesion.

The following is my personal opinion and does not reflect the opinions of any other persons entities companies and does not represent USAA in any way. The following is purely the personal opinion of myself, an American exercising the 1st Ammendment rights of the U.S. constitution:

In in my general life experience, a person hired for any a job is only there for a finite amount of time (ie: hired until retired.). Perhaps those who gave the customer experience you are used to have retired or are no longer there?   This is only my opinion.  Millennials have a completely different concept of customer service and in my opinion millennials have a sense of entitlement that generations W and X did not have.  I experience this throughout the service industry from restaurants to banks to clothing stores to insurance companies to government entities.  

What once was standard perhaps can no longer can be sustained due to the generational changes mentioned above.

Just one person's opinion to ponder or ignore as you will.
