Pros

Best starting pay for tellers out of all the banks. Your branch is your team and somewhat become a family away from home.

Cons

Seems difficult to move up to a banker position. a lot of tellers seem to be older and been in the banking industry for years and years. again, making it difficult to get a promotion.

Pros

Hybrid schedule, supportive managers, opportunities

Cons

Once you’re in, comp basically plateaus. Layoffs are happening across the board, which tends to be the full-time culture of citi. The vibe is very much “run lean” until something actually breaks, and only then consider adding headcount. You have to be intentional about protecting your work-life balance, because the implicit expectation is that you’re always on—24/7, 365—without the support of a properly staffed team.
