Pros

Good name recognition and marketing drives customers into the bank providing sales opportunities. Lots of products to offer, that is it, everyone I work with is miserable.

Cons

Management is very heavy handed, they talk about corrective action every single day and only focus on what didn’t get done. I’m currently over 100% of goal in every sales category but got threatened with corrective action cause i didn’t have time to get two observations per day on all ten of my employees? Compliance is way over the top, making it difficult to do business with them. Staffing is horrible throughout the Philadelphia market, most branches have a lot of holes due to firings and employees quitting. The bank only cares about widgets right now. Worst experience of my life. They talk about work life balance but then schedule call labs after work hours every day of the week, I generally don’t get home before 8:30 pm at least three days a week. And have had to work six days most weeks due to staffing.

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.
