Pros

Citi provides great benefits and pay for being an entry-level call center position

Cons

Their technology support is unnecessarily complicated. There are 2 systems to do one job, a new one and a legacy one. If the new one times out (regular issue), use the old one. The catch is, the old one must me loaded in if and only if the new one doesn't work. This process can take about 2 minutes, and you are in trouble with your manager if your average call takes over 5 minutes. This metric, the call handle time, is the only thing management will even talk to you about. Nothing else. Also, the training was not good. We were not given any call examples for us to learn from. Our group was told we were "lucky" to have the time we did have with the trainers, and during our training time, if we asked questions, we were scolded and told we already have the tools. Ridiculous and toxic environment.

Pros

Strong global platform with exceptional exposure to complex clients, markets, and products. Citi offers significant opportunities to build an international career, work with highly talented professionals, and develop deep expertise in banking and financial services. The global network and breadth of the organization are major differentiators.

Cons

The size and complexity of the organization can create bureaucracy, fragmented decision-making, and lengthy internal processes. Organizational changes and frequent restructuring can also affect continuity, while navigating multiple stakeholders sometimes takes significant time and energy away from clients and business execution.
