PNC Financial Services Group reviews

PNC re-vamped their compensation bands a few years back which made a complete mess of things. Most of the time your 1% annual raise is keeping you at the minimum of your pay range despite how long you've been in the role and your skill level. You're rarely being compensated for your performance so there is little incentive to exceed expectations. There is little room for advancement after a certain point, they've started cutting down on the higher individual contributor paygrades leaving really only a handful of "levels". So if you change jobs and you're moving to a job that's in the same level, it's very difficult to get any additional comp (sometimes). I would recommend negotiating a higher salary when coming into the bank and only staying for a few years. They have a lot more flexibility negotiating salaries for external candidates. Managers can be hit or miss here, I've hand great ones and awful ones. So it all depends on the group you get in to.

You work 60 hours a week to earn a paycheck. Management claims they are making changes to the department so that people aren't being chained to their desk, from 6am to 8pm or until we are told we can leave. Issues in the department have been around long before COVID. Talented people continue to leave. We are highly micro-managed. No meaningful praise or thanks. They have ridiculous goals for people to meet every day that is not attainable so it requires you to work 60 hours a week. This job does not have a work life balance. So if you do not have a life, this job is for you!
