Pros

Not only is Citigroup a common name in the world, it is also one of the largest companies out there w/ many affiliates. Citibank has great opportunites for growth and advancement. Provides great benefits and compensation. Sky is the limit, when making money, I am always motivated to make more each month. There are extra incentives every week, that make the job exciting and compatetive with coworkers. Hours are fair and covenient for employees to have a life after work.

Cons

Not enough banks yet, especially on the Western and midwest. Everyone is concentrating in finding something wrong with banks nowadays, putting Citibank in the headlines all the time. Stock market has been down the last couple of days, due to economy and loss of Wachovia buyout.

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.
