Pros

Honestly, if you don't mind being treated poorly and emotionally and mentally abused, then maybe this is okay for you. They have juice and snacks... but not worth it for the mental and emotion abuse.

Cons

I think expectations are good. However, I do not condone treating others with a lack of respect. As well, the Toronto location has a horrible environment. Not only do they micro manage, but the have a unhealthy learning expectation, and the toxic management really trickles down. It's like a virus. People will start looking out for themselves and take any opportunity to throw you under the bus. For me, my trainer was so overwhelmed with work, that he wasn't able to train me properly. Anyway, I am back at the bank and have been promoted twice since I left. I guess I dodged a bullet.

Pros

Location, System, Benefits, Breakfasts, Pool Table

Cons

No opinion as everyone's experience is personal to them however if any one of you want to join Citco it is worth bearing my experience in your mind before you make your decision cause I am telling you 100% truth, rest is up to you; Family run business led by some old school but poor management team in Dublin; 1. VP and above are just bunch of Managers no leaders! 2. Micro Management. 3. Blame Culture. 4. Performance Management is just a box ticking exercise in reality no progression or development plan. 5. High quality of Corporate Bureaucracy 6. Chinese Whisper, Constant lying is the norm. 7. Not transparent environment. 8. VPs do not like being questioned or challenged! Hope this helps. Thanks

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. It is disapointing to read this review, I appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback so we can understand more about your time with us. This is not the Citco I recognise and indeed goes completely against our values. We are committed to creating a comfortable, transparent and collaborative environment for all our employees so I am disappointed to hear about some of your experiences. We would encourage you to address your specific concerns through our internal communication channels. We are always looking at how we can improve.

Pros

Benefits Package Get paid for Overtime (the con is that there is overtime)

Cons

Pay - the pay is really bad and negotiate or be ready to get low balled. Management - management will lie to you about promotions and pay. I expect a reply with the career goal tracker and pay application. My current manager still hasn’t put in goals for me even though this module was launched a while back. Management will lie to you and these recent 5 star reviews is nothing but then trying to save face. HR - worse than management. My friend gave his exit interview and HR didn’t seem to care. My colleague has been gone for 6 months and there are still no changes. Finally, don’t get roped in to lies. If you get a job at Citco be ready to network and get the hell out.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. At Citco we are committed to providing our employees with a working environment that is positive and engaging and allows for internal opportunities for employees to grow so I am disappointed to hear about some of your experiences. We would encourage you to explore more internal communication channels available to you to address your specific concerns. It sounds like there could be an opportunity to provide further details about the programs we have in place for internal promotions and performance reviews. Again, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
