Pros

-The Work/Life balance-Citizens offers a great work/life balance and management understands you have a family and may need to take off to go take care of whatever comes up even at a short notice. -Career Opportunities. There are many career opportunities available but you have to be willing to take advantage of the great resources that are available to the employees. You have to be in charge of your career and let your manager know how you want your career to progress.

Cons

-Compensation in terms of no cost of living raise and the yearly raise is minimal. -IT equipment still outdated but is improving. -No reduced rates for public transportation/Parking fees. If you do not work at the main campus in RI, then you have to pay full price for public transportation or parking garages when going into the office.

Pros

The pros are the benefits, the pay could be higher for all that you learn and have to go through for ten weeks. They offer tuition assistance and opportunity for upskilling and advancing in such little time and the remote flexibility is great too

Cons

Management sucks and of course they have their favorites and then they have the people they target like myself. They micromanage bad and are quick to give you an occurrence for nothing. Their systems are so slow and then they blame you for being five ten minutes late logging in. They want you to tell them when you get up to breathe, go to the bathroom and they push for you to take calls and know boatloads of info after on 3 weeks of training. What they don’t know is that I will sue for any wrong doings or discrimination and I keep records of everything
