Few barriers to entry, endless barriers to growth.

Pros

Lots of good people, and some interesting changes coming through the pipeline for Citizens

Cons

These black-and-white policies regarding the customer experience are a huge over-generalization of what it really means to create lasting relationships within the confines of an often bi-weekly conversation, in passing, with otherwise unruly customers.

Pros

Overall, my experience at Charter One has been great. There is a strong culture of treating everyone with respect. As a part-time colleague the benefits provided to me have been very generous. I receive education assistance to help obtain my bachelor's degree, multiple weeks of PTO, complementary bank services, large incentive bonuses, and the list goes on. Another great thing is that we are constantly recruiting the most talented employees from our competition.

Cons

One big problem is that our technology is often lagging with the times. They have neglected updating a lot of it, and they are finally making big changes at a rapid pace. This puts added strain on us as employees, because we often have to jump through a lot of hoops to get simple tasks done. Another annoying issue is that the company has also neglected to update a lot of branch decor and facades. A lot of our branches look like they haven't been touched up since the 90's.
