Pros

A good reason to you'd like to work for Citibank would be if you genuinely love teller work. Citibank empowers its tellers with many abilities.

Cons

Everything else you can literally think about on a workplace aspect. Seriously. This company does not follow what it preaches. Management is irresponsible and many times aren't sure of what they are doing unless they are going by their policy & procedure reference (which they still always mess up on even with the reference in their face).

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.
