The money was great, the product and the people could drive you crazy.
Pros
Basically the money was the only good part about working for Citi. Well, the benefits as well, but still just money.
Cons
Citifinancial : extremely pressuring. The economy was tanking, banks were not lending, and management was brilliant to the point of holding us to goals from 2006-2007 during the first year of a depression(2008..). They bribed me to come through saying "bonuses are huge". Ya, a whole $50 if you were a good boy, good thing I could rely on their salary. Then, they're shady. I was being pressured to sell insurance before I was licensed. If an old lady walked in knowing nothing, I was supposed to give her a loan for double her interest (not exagerating) and double what she could realistically afford. Normal retail sure, but I'm stressing the pressure for output when at the time, there was no lending. Can't imagine what it would be now with only a trickle of economy coming back..Oh, and we pretty much forced people to go on different programs such as auto pay or "renewing" their loans for "skipping a pmt". The renewals end up just screwing them, takes triple the time to pay off a loan, nice Christmas present. And when I say force, ever heard someone say " ya, well our policy has changed...This is the way we're doing business now.." You're not saying "no", that would be illegal, just change of policy.
