Pros

Lots of training opportunities and banking discounts. The colleagues that you meet and work with are very helpful and friendly. You can learn a great deal.

Cons

Lower pay relative to other banks (from what colleagues stated). Bonus structure results in low payout compared to a more traditional sales position.

Pros

Salary and benefits are ok, but I found out the person who was previously in my role earned $30,000 more

Cons

If you disagree with a manager, you will become an outcast, exiled to your own lonely island. Your life will be miserable thereafter. There is so much red tape in the company that you can't even create an Excel sheet without at least 1 manager looking over the work. I'm not even sure my manager understands the nature of my work. There is no learning. I worked at a larger bank and learned 10x more in half the time. The work I do here is extremely dull and mind-numbing. Nobody cares whether you learn.

Few barriers to entry, endless barriers to growth.

Pros

Lots of good people, and some interesting changes coming through the pipeline for Citizens

Cons

These black-and-white policies regarding the customer experience are a huge over-generalization of what it really means to create lasting relationships within the confines of an often bi-weekly conversation, in passing, with otherwise unruly customers.
