Pros

Company was great prior to 2012. Great benefits, bonuses, time off, overall work environment

Cons

Extreme amount of change in last 2 years. 401k match cut, insurance costs skyrocketed, PTO time scaled back, bonuses are almost non existent. High turnover because of this. Going to be a rough couple years.

Pros

Great colleague atmosphere, decent benefits like tuition reimbursement. This company has some perks but the cons outweigh them significantly.

Cons

Pay, micromanagement like no other company, unprofessionalism across the board, constant threats from upper management and non constructive criticism, defamation of character, understaffed branches, no sense of urgency to staff accordingly.

Pros

I chose to work for Citizens because there was a tremendous opportunity for me to build something from the ground up. It's not too often that you can work for a well established company and have the flexibility to share and execute on your ideas. My team has very strong leaders that are supportive and thoughtful in their vision and goals. They take the time to recognize performance, they work to create career opportunities, they laugh and have fun, and they are transparent. I'm very thankful for them and for our team. I think our benefits overall are average but the PTO and flexible work locations is excellent.

Cons

The technology is not good. Our systems are slow, we still use IE8 as a default browser which is a nightmare for my work, half the time we can't get on a webex with vendors because it doesn't work with our systems and there are at least 10 different logons for the different tools we use. I would also say our work location is not very nice. There are not enough conference rooms for teams to use, people are crammed into small spaces and there isn't a cafe in an area where there are very few outside places to eat.
