Pros

Citizens pays well and competes aggressively in their various markets. Career progression is prescribed. The experience for a junior banker is pretty strong and should lead to solid exit opportunities.

Cons

The quality of the senior bankers is mixed. Leadership is calcified. Decisionmaking is opaque and the overarching strategy within the investment bank doesn't seem very effective. Implemented aggressive layoffs through 2H'23 and 1H'24, and have made many hires to fill those positions already. Recent senior hires seem astute, some of the recent junior hires are less than astute.

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
