Pros

There are some great people still left at PNC in certain departments. The bank has unmatched technology and some products that can be very beneficial to the clients.

Cons

Retail banking has become everything we used to make light of - constant turnover, counting widgets, pressure to sell things to clients they don't need to hit goal. There is no room for autonomy or creativity, PNC is in full-on micro-managing, "do it my way or else" mode. The culture is drastically different than it was 2 years, 5 years and 10 years ago. This has forced out a number of highly talented, creative leaders and individuals that contributed greatly to the organization.

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.
