Pros

Competitive pay. Vacation is standard even though they claim it's great. Most managers look down upon you using vacation anyways. Free health benefits yet you still pay a deductible, so it evens out in the end if you actually use insurance.

Cons

Management is absolutely horrendous. Most directors in the company are of no assistance nor do they care about the general well being of employees and are totally under qualified for their position. Some employees work 60+ hours a week and then are expected to come in on weekends as well. The company now requires you to sign a non compete. HR does not properly handle any employee requests or complaints and basically ignores employees until they resign. There is a huge lack of internal promoting. Turnover is high and most employees are unhappy within the office. Employees are viewed as robots with no personal lives and need to work endless hours to ensure upper management can collect a bonus. Also, bonus's are non existent or very small unless you are at the director level. Very weak work life balance is present at this company.

Dear colleague – thank you for your review, we always appreciate the time it takes to provide feedback. To try to address your comments above, employee wellbeing is of utmost importance in Citco, and we understand it’s our people that are key to the many successes Citco has achieved. It's not always easy, and I understand with heavy workloads where people are extraordinarily busy at various points in the year striking the right work/life balance can be challenging. However, we try to counteract this through our policies and practices that support health, happiness and wellbeing. Also, management do actively monitor staff workloads and hours through our OTL system to try to create solutions and efficiencies to better manage busy periods within their teams. Integrity is one of the core HR values, where the HR team strives to act in an ethical and principled manner at all times when dealing with all requests and feedback. All feedback is taken seriously whereby we seek to continuously enhance and improve every employee’s experience in Citco. If you have any suggestions or initiatives that you think could improve things I encourage you to reach out and voice these suggestions with your manager or HR in your location. As ultimately we all have a part to play in ensuring a positive work environment for us all.

Pros

Its best to work here for a few years and gain experience elsewhere.

Cons

Company went from 2 days on-site to now 3 days on-site, i dont mind it but this company has low morale and all the employees are sick of this place now. If you want a high salary but no opportunity to advance this is the place for you. 80% of the company is senior level and no room for growth or promotional opportunities.
