Pros

Flexible work hours, work from home opportunity, located in the heart of the city, easy to get "comfortable" if you're not an idiot. You can (and are often encouraged to) move into different groups or roles after 1 year in a position. Opportunity to move into almost any financial position you're interested in. Continuing education offered for free with online classes or PNC conducted courses.

Cons

Hitting wall after wall. With a company so large, it's almost more difficult to get ahead. Lateral moves are necessary, then hope to be in the right place at the right time. Otherwise it's 1% raise each year (MAX... it was 0% this year). There's only one manager for every group and recently with "Talent Framework", some managers have even been grouped into the same category as their subordinates.

Pros

Compared with similarly sized institutions, PNC offers decent work-life balance. But it all depends on who your manager is. People are generally very helpful and always willing to answer questions. For the most part, I enjoyed my time there.

Cons

Compensation is frequently ranked among the bottom percentile in the industry, and this was no exception for myself. They do not take into account the cost of living of a certain area when you are in their analyst program. For example, someone in Nashville would have to the same compensation as someone with the same position in San Francisco. During my time there, it definitely felt very “laissez faire”. Communication among deal team members was also a bit unpolished, with juniors frequently having to play catch up. The bureaucracy and level of siloing between lines of business is awful. It slows down deal execution and overall efficiency.
