Pros
The program offered a lot of opportunity to see different things before settling into one career trajectory. It also offered a 5-month "out of market rotation" where the company pays for your housing, so upon completion, one can have a lot of savings if you play your cards right. Pittsburgh is also a great city to be in for a few years.
Cons
Overall: The program was executed very inconsistently. Some program managers were very unorganized and did not help develop associates at all. Many associates were placed in rotations with no development value or business need whatsoever. Some rotations were insightful and allowed us opportunities to really add value to PNC, but this wasn't always the case. Talent: The program cohort was made of a generally good group of people, but some of our colleagues and rotational managers were unprofessional. There was inconsistency in this regard as well. I believe that PNC has a big talent problem, with many unintelligent and unprogressive people having been swept into the company over time. Salary: Very poor compensation while in the program, with management attempting to stunt your compensation growth as you exit the program. Be wary of how compensation is held against you after you're done.
