Pros

Good benefits, you meet nice co-workers, good location. Depending on your experience the pay is good, my pay is good which is why I'm still there.

Cons

Your needs are never a priority. HR staff are 100% useless and never take your concerns seriously. I've been there long enough to see managers build cases against employees simply because they need to go home on time for personal reasons, soon after they are fired. Managers have asked me to collect information in secret that could be used against them. Managers are always right and when an employee is fired, its never investigated by anyone, manager has the last word. I've seen this over and over. HR does nothing. Don't expect a bonus - they spend more time coming up with excuses than paying them. Expect overtime, you can't get away from it. If you can't work it then you're painting a target on your back. Irish immigrants are flocking in and getting paid less than local applicants. Irish immigrants are automatically locked in for 2 years which is good because most people quit or get fired after 6 months. I've seen people start monday morning and quit monday afternoon. One guy went for lunch and never came back. The list goes on. I've been here for over 4 years and I only recognize maybe 15 people, everyone else is gone. Town Hall meetings share information about company growth and why working at Citco is the best but they never dig deep and address employee concerns.

Pros

Its best to work here for a few years and gain experience elsewhere.

Cons

Company went from 2 days on-site to now 3 days on-site, i dont mind it but this company has low morale and all the employees are sick of this place now. If you want a high salary but no opportunity to advance this is the place for you. 80% of the company is senior level and no room for growth or promotional opportunities.
