Not a great place to work...yet - Communications Manager PNC Financial Services Group Employee Review

Pros

Competitive salaries, opportunities to work from home, great ideas for how to build a great culture. In addition, some pretty terrific people work there.

Cons

Culturally, PNC is a mess. Turnover overall is quite high, morale is very low. When serious conflicts between managers and employees arise, human resources and employee relations stand firmly on the side of the manager. The best an employee can do in his or her own defense is to hire a lawyer... or have friends in high places. The bank has a poor technology infrastructure and for some reason, in spite of throwing millions of dollars to build new systems and fix problems, nothing seems to improve. PNC is well behind its peers in terms of products and services, but they have great plans for catching up. Annual salary increases do not account for inflation and health benefits become less beneficial as time goes on.

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.
