Pros

In certain departments it's acceptable to work from home exclusively and the hours can be flexible at times.

Cons

Per a recent conversation with HR it is at the discretion of the department manager how many hours over 40 are required in addition to working 6-7 days a week. The work load is extremely unreasonable. Most promotions are based on favoritism or age bias in reverse, the longer you've been at the company, the older you are,the more skilled you appear and are first in line for promotions. Fairness and a balanced work/home life are foreign concepts at Citizens.

Pros

Decent benefits and pto, if only you didn't have to waste it every time you or your children get sick.

Cons

In store branch hours are long, they'll lie and tell you you won't have to work longer than 8 hours a day but you will. Anyone hired before you has seniority and you're basically just the underdog that's there to cover all their pto they'll take at the worst times but if you try to take yours when it's inconvenient, you won't get it. Some will treat you badly and management will just look the other way. They'll tell you they'll work with you to make sure you have a great work/life balance. Sure, as long as you always put work first. Also training needs a reboot big time. Some of the facilitators have no clue what they're even teaching and will teach you something different and wrong daily. And last but not least, the pay isn't very good compared to competition.
