A good bank with big hurdles.

Pros

Benefits package, ability to move up or around, lots of support from back office staff in various departments. Citizens is a good bank to work for. However, there have been a lot of top level changes which has lead to some uncertainty.

Cons

Compensation is lower than industry average (simply based on my own research), managers are promoted based on selling - which can lead to great sales people making poor regional managers. There has been a lot of turnover lately and it seems like the Massachusetts area is in flux.

Pros

-pay is great, tuition reimbursement, good benefits and vacation -many promotions and a variety of products to sell, product is easy to sell once you find the right customer -schedule is very flexible, you will be accomodated based on business need -expectations from upper management are very clear -plenty of money to make if you're willing to go the extra mile

Cons

-systems and technology are outdated (but do you really wanna be replaced by mobile deposit? lol) -customer service line/phonebank doesn't work in sync with the branches (which can frustrate some customers) -Onboarding process will make or break you, especially if your team members are lazy/ working against you -rumors about buyout are creating a lack of faith in the citizens brand from a customer standpoint -wealth management/ investment program is still a work in progress and has mixed results
