Pros

The banking holidays and liberal time off is great. Great benefits also.

Cons

Change that makes no sense. Endless cycle of layoffs. Never seem to know what they are doing. The most competent people are not in management. Even in IT, they must be so frustrated with the lack of communication between business lines. Takes FOREVER to get a new process going, again because the most competent people are not at the helm in most departments.

Pros

Global company with people across many different functions. The very scale of the company would have you believe that there are opportunities about with respect to career development and progression.

Cons

The Citi culture is awful. The people there are very unpleasant and not team players. When you first start out there if you ask someone for help there are very few people actually willing to help you. I was even told that one person couldn't help me because that would take him away fro his own work. There is no consistent onboarding process and you stay in a constant state of ambiguity. The company is run in silos that are almost impenetrable.

Pros

Pay. Commission is good as long as you stay compliant. Direct management is very understanding of situations and issues at work. Positive impact on the community. Happy attitudes throughout bank.

Cons

You have to be "loved" by upper management in order to be chosen for promotions or new advancement opportunities. Seen many people with high skill sets who were disregarded completely because they were not extroverted. High turnover rate due to rigorously strict schedule and adherence to phones. Offline is often cancelled, resulting in weeks on end of non-stop call taking. Many reps get burned out quickly. Due to high turnover, they pay new reps fairly better than existing reps just to keep them, raises are not as common as you'd think in a multi-billion dollar bank. No schedule flexibility.
