Citi reviews

Big bank, always can find some department that you might be interested in working in.Working there used to be about the customers and employees. The merger with Travelers turned it into the mess it is in now. Now it is all about senior management and how much money everyone in the company could make for them. It has become a very cut-throat environment, where the more sadistic you are, the better the rewards. HR was never about protecting the employees from poor management, they were all about protecting themselves.Citibank was a great company to work for. There was a very competitive salary package, first class benefits (I had the highest possible health insurance package 100 deductable for my entire family and was only paying 300 pretax money including vision and dental - the company paid 2600 on my behalf - just for the medical!!) all my benefits alone equaled half my base salary, and they also provided extensive training and licensing for their employees. Within the five years that i worked there I was promoted twice. The management always showed respect to their employees and was very much a sense of family and team spirit in the office. There is really nothing negative to say about this place and I can only hope they make it through this economy as it is still the "home" of hundreds of thousands of employees and I hope I will be able to return to this place one day.

It is usually a stable company, but as of late it has not been so much. So, the reasons are going away fast. There is generally a comfortable work environment, lunch room in the building and mandatory breaks and lunches, which you do not get in a lot of companies. I would say citi is a good place to work for, but I would also look in other areas.
