Pros

None. You get "ok" benefits, and the employee training program is fine except that you often have to travel an unreasonable distance to the training location.

Cons

My year of employment with this company was an experience that I suggest job seekers avoid. The company it's self is not bad. You get "ok" benefits, and the employee training program is fine. Most of my hostilities toward the company are a direct result of the manager I worked under, the VP Institutional and Investment Marketing at my branch location. The manager operated the branch based on favoritism. The manager lied to employees, would gossip regularly, and the manger even brought their children in to work on multiple occasions. The most frustrating aspect of the position was how the manager would treat the employees. We were often belittled and talked down to. There were even occasions where we were asked to step in the office, only for the manager to close the door and speak to you in a slightly raised hostel tone of voice. I could see potential with this company, but after my management experience I refused to continue in a work environment that is toxic. After leaving the company I was also informed that the manager I had worked for had been giving false information to companies I was applying to. That should clue you in to my work experience and the type of manager I had.

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.
