San Antonio-Based USAA Announces Job Cuts, Eliminating 220 Positions

An Era of Job Reductions

San Antonio-based USAA, a financial services company, has announced the layoff of 220 employees, marking another chapter in its series of job reductions. This decision follows several instances in the past year where the company reduced its workforce considerably. This downsizing is seen as a way of reshuffling the company’s resources in response to shifting business needs.

Job Cuts Amidst Continued Hiring

USAA’s Public Relations Director issued a statement saying, “After careful consideration, we made the difficult decision to eliminate approximately 220 roles.” Despite this, USAA has carried on with its hiring process throughout the year, filling approximately 2,900 positions. However, the company recognizes that certain reprioritizations are vital for adapting to their changing business environment.

The company described the layoffs as a “necessary adjustment” for the organization. At the time of reporting, the exact number of eliminations in San Antonio-New Braunfels Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) remains unclear.

Treatment of Impacted Employees

In light of the layoffs, the company assured that affected employees would be treated with care and compassion. USAA promises to provide assistance to these employees in their quest to find new roles, either within the organization or elsewhere.

Previous Reductions and Performances

In the previous year, USAA had to eliminate nearly 1,000 jobs. As part of necessary adjustments to run a sustainable business, the company slashed 300 jobs in May. Additionally, another 475 jobs were cut in April 2023, representing slightly over 1% of the organization’s total workforce.

The year marked a significant point in the company’s 100-year history, as USAA reported losses on its annual balance sheet for the first time. Despite these losses, the company managed to top the list of Banks by Deposits in 2023, reporting $98.69 million in the San Antonio market.

Looking Forward

It remains to be seen how these latest layoffs will impact the financial standings and market performance of USAA. As changes in the business landscape continue to dictate the strategies of large corporations, the welfare of employees must not be swept under the rug. Comprehensive support systems are a crucial feature as businesses continue to adapt and evolve.
