Pros

401K. Pension. Vacation Time. Insurance

Cons

Pay is below average in comparison to other area banks, high turn-over, Extreme micro-management, little to no communication from upper management, favoritism, unrealistic expectations in order to get Gallup Survey bonus. This is the worst company I have ever worked for. You can receive a promotion from a teller to a switcher, which requires you to be responsible for twice the amount of knowledge (both teller and office knowledge), but then not receive a raise. Not even a penny! I worked there 6 years, and even with a promotion only received a 65 cent per hour raise from the very first day I started, and I was not a bad employee obviously or I wouldn’t have gotten a promotion. I never called off work, never came in late, always took on extra tasks, and even worked by myself as an acting branch manager for months and got no recognition. Branch managers come in when they want, micro-manage every move you make for every second of the day, and then expect you to do their job too. This company expects you to bend over backwards, runs every branch short staffed, and then sends customers surveys asking them to rate the level of service from a 1 to 5. If the average score isn’t at least a 4.87 then no one in the branch gets a bonus, even if the problem was the fact that we are constantly running a skeleton crew and customers are upset about waiting in line. Policies and procedures are constantly changing, and it is possible, but sometimes difficult to keep up with all the changes on a day to day basis. In addition to that, they are always adding to our responsibilities. Now we have a special “customer language” that we have to use. They are running us like clones. We have to record every customer conversation in a data base. It’s almost as ridiculous as health records. We are stripped of our personality and are forced to say, “Good afternoon! Welcome to PNC, how may I assist you today?” ect. And if we don’t say that to every customer then we are in danger of being put on an action plan, especially if any of our customer surveys come back below a 4.87 average. Basically, PNC makes itself sound like a great place to work, but it’s not. Go to fifth third or somewhere else that actually cares about its employees.

Pros

if you are new to the workforce, if you have no other options, if you live in Pittsburgh, PNC might be the right choice. Anyone who has options, should consider another organization. PNC is looking for the best, but they are not the best organization. They are growing, but they can't handle the growth.

Cons

Its like working at HFC or Radio Shack, sell financial services like you're selling ipods. The organization has no respect for the employee, it is basically a sweat shop that sells the flavor (product) of the month. There is no consideration of the client.

Pros

Team oriented Great branch managers

Cons

Upper management will NEVER have your back. They will always try to find some way to screw your over. Whether it’s barely giving you a raise while you risk your life working at a branch during a pandemic, to giving you false promises of advancement only back track and say “well we need you to get experience in this area now,” to allowing customers to assault employees. That’s right! I’ve seen customers verbally assault and physically throw things at employees and threaten to fight them and upper management won’t even close their accounts and instead ask the employee “what could you have done better?” Like it’s always ALWAYS the employee’s fault. PNC will NOT have your back or best interest in mind. They WILL NOT promote you unless upper management personally likes you. They will literally dangle the opportunity of advancement right in front of your face only to get you to work harder and handle more responsibilities by telling you that they will give the position to you after completing but little do you know that they were never going to give you the position to begin with. I left the company after I got a job somewhere else and in a position I applied for at PNC and didn’t even get an interview for. Good to know that another company that I never worked for will give me an opportunity but after my 6 years at PNC I was denied for the exact same position. Way to value your employees.
