Pros

Decent pay and hours. A great starting spot to become a Financial Advisor, or a way to find out you want to do something else!

Cons

If you stay in the position you will not really move up anywhere, and pay will never be that great.

Pros

Hybrid schedule, supportive managers, opportunities

Cons

Once you’re in, comp basically plateaus. Layoffs are happening across the board, which tends to be the full-time culture of citi. The vibe is very much “run lean” until something actually breaks, and only then consider adding headcount. You have to be intentional about protecting your work-life balance, because the implicit expectation is that you’re always on—24/7, 365—without the support of a properly staffed team.
