Pros

Decent pay, 1 day a week to work from home via VPN, decent benefits but getting progressively worse the last few years.

Cons

The bank is constantly trying to cut costs, which has resulted in a rather poor work environment over the last few years. They have the Rhode Island mentality of "Your lucky to have a job" since the economy in RI is typically the worst in the US. Citizens is in the process of outosurcing all of its IT to India. Other bank groups are to be outsourced sooon as well. The outsourcing companies provide awful service, but Citizens is just interesting in trying to save a buck and doesn't care about quality any more. Citizens has become known for working salaried employees as many hours as possible without giving any comp time or other perks. The work life balance is terrible here. .Citizens used to be a great place to work, but not anymore. I would not recommend anyone to work here.

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
