Pros

Citizens does offer a variety of career paths for all types of degrees and interests. Your sales numbers mean a lot and if you can consistently produce you will get noticed for promotions.

Cons

Prepare to be micromanaged. If your manager is by the book for can expect to have every 30 minutes of your day blocked out for an activity. The banks processes don't allow people to be themselves but more like robots. Their new incentive programs are also a lot worse than in the past. Under the old system the average banker made $4800 per quarter in bonuses. Under the new P&L system that has significantly dropped and reaching those levels now means hitting 5 times your minimum expectation.
