Pros

Good for breaking into the industry and getting exposure. The work is super easy, but time consuming because of all the internal red type.

Cons

The company is based on lies. Clients do not come first at the institution. PNC can talks a big game to prospective clients about how we will service, how good we are etc, but once they are in the door, PNC forgets about them until they want to leave. PNC also has a ton of management turnover. Its not uncommon to see a regional manager change 3 times in a year. Employees paid based on sales commision are not compensated fairly. Over the years, PNC has found more ways to pay their employees less while requiring more work. Management will lie to your face in every all hands meeting, town hall meeting, quarterly meeting etc. Its a real insult to the employees because it implies we are too dumb to see through it. All honesty, they are getting away with theft from their employees. Majority of them are over qualified and under paid. Discretionary Bonus's do not reflect performance. You can beat all expectations and generate $100M in revenue and still get paid nothing. Promotions do not mean higher pay either. You can go from level 1 to SR VP and only get a raise of $7,500 total over the course of 5-10 years. Do not work here if you have self respect.

Pros

If you are under the right branch management, working day to day can be a breeze. The vacation policy is great, and the support they provide to help you move up in the company is easy.

Cons

The challenging part is keeping your branch manager happy by hitting your monthly goals, so they do not get pulled into meetings about the branch performance. If your branch has terrible traffic, it will get annoying fast, hitting the phones and the same clients every day. Try to work at a branch that does not work on Saturday's so you have more time for yourself.

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.
