A good bank with big hurdles.

Pros

Benefits package, ability to move up or around, lots of support from back office staff in various departments. Citizens is a good bank to work for. However, there have been a lot of top level changes which has lead to some uncertainty.

Cons

Compensation is lower than industry average (simply based on my own research), managers are promoted based on selling - which can lead to great sales people making poor regional managers. There has been a lot of turnover lately and it seems like the Massachusetts area is in flux.

Pros

Good People to work with Good amount of Vacation time A lot of remote/work from home opportunities

Cons

IT System Landscape is very dated 20+Years old in some cases. This makes implementing change a Challenge. Recent Out Sourcing of work to Accenture has failed and left the remaining FTE and Contractors stretched very thin and over worked. It also exposed CFG to a large Gap of SME knowledge as many of the systems are not documented. High Contractor to FTE Ratio makes delivering any change at least 2 times more expensive. Constant Turn over in Sr. Mng and Direction. RBS and the UK government have Stunted their ability to direct change. Recent IPO announcements an cuts in 2104 pressure are beginning to drive Sr. Talent out of the organization.
