Pros

If you haven't had a professional experiences, this would be a good start. Citigroup is a big name to be written on your resume. Company benefits cover most of the museums in NY and health, dental coverages are very cost effective (until 2008). Benefit costs doubled in 2009.

Cons

If you are working anywhere else but NY, there are no room for career development. You are stuck on a dead-end job. All directives are passed down from NY and there are no recourse. After two years of being a Personal Banker, your option is to become a Business Banker or a Branch Manager. Most of the bankers quite before two years. Compensation plan seems to change every quarter and upper managements in NY are trying their best to minimize bankers' compensation payouts.

Pros

Excellent benefit package. TONS of vacation time. Management gets about 5 weeks. Work life balance is ok at first but gets much tougher as you move up. Mid and upper management log 60-70 hours all the time. Also, with all the technology their is no way to work remotely unless you like a network that lags so much it makes it impossible to work.

Cons

Get promoted internally and there is an excellent chance some of your direct reports will make more than you. Get hired into the same job from the outside and you'll make 30-40% more. HORRIBLE salaries for internal promotions.

Pros

Freedom and flexibility to do the right thing for your client. There is no pressure to recommend products that are not in the best interest of your client. You are free to build your business the way you want.

Cons

It takes a lot of work to build your practice to the point of it being self-sustaining.
