Pros

Was supportive when I had to take a leave of absence. I did learn a lot more about banking. This review is for the years 16-20.

Cons

PNC contributed to my having to take a leave of absence. When I got back, I was supposed to go back to my original position, but I was not assigned to my original position. But that was the least of my issues with the company. At my first branch, the pressure to open accounts was insane. There were accounts that were opened by management that we knew would close due to fraud but were only opened to meet our monthly quota. I had a loan declined for a woman who was a client making around $110k for $25k and was told by the underwriters that she needed to have her husband as a co-signer. When I was assigned to another branch, they never followed policies and procedures. They would never, ever check id's for customers. I would get cursed out on the regular for asking for id. I have worked for several banks and the number one thing that has to be done regardless of how long the customer has been banking with you is checking their id. And my co-workers would look at me like I was the problem. Also during the pandemic, while everyone was trying their best to save money, we were directed to either open cd's or direct customer's with mortgages to take out helocs because it would make the bank money. I was super glad to leave.

Pros

Compared with similarly sized institutions, PNC offers decent work-life balance. But it all depends on who your manager is. People are generally very helpful and always willing to answer questions. For the most part, I enjoyed my time there.

Cons

Compensation is frequently ranked among the bottom percentile in the industry, and this was no exception for myself. They do not take into account the cost of living of a certain area when you are in their analyst program. For example, someone in Nashville would have to the same compensation as someone with the same position in San Francisco. During my time there, it definitely felt very “laissez faire”. Communication among deal team members was also a bit unpolished, with juniors frequently having to play catch up. The bureaucracy and level of siloing between lines of business is awful. It slows down deal execution and overall efficiency.
