Pros

Decent pay, PTO is nice, some employees really do generally care but they are the minority.

Cons

Sales is the only game at Citizens. It is absolutely a "what have you done for us today" atmosphere. As soon as you have one below average quarter, you go on corrective action. The policies are so subjective they can make them say whatever is the most convenient for them. Have a top of market quarter? You get audited and they find enough to basically pay you nothing. Having been in that position multiple times, it makes one wonder why good employees stay.

Pros

Citizens' has decent employee benefits and is dedicated to reinvesting in the community.

Cons

Staff cuts over the last few years have resulted in less people responsible for more work. Average work week for salaried employee is 60 hours. Transition to open seating floor plans was ill-advised and resulted in the loss of productivity and plummeting employee morale. There is no loyalty to employees and longevity is not valued. Current management has made what was once a wonderful place to work where great people accomplished great things a thing of the past.
