Pros

Benefits, vacation besides that I cannot think of a reason to go there.

Cons

Some people are really great but in order to be management you really have to be a back stabber, and learn to play dirty. Upper management gets huge raises while the people actually doing the work get 1.75% if they are lucky. Lotus Notes, National City employees get treated differently than the ones from legacy PNC employees.

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.
