Pros

You do get paid biweekly

Cons

I worked in my AML role for 3 years and cannot tell you a single thing I learned, other than how to fill out two different time sheets and how to work until 9:45pm on a deadline day. You’re expected to give your vacation time for the whole year by March, and by then, so many days and weeks are blocked off you can’t even take off when you want. It’s like working in a factory except you get to sit down. The culture of the AML department is non-existent. We barely got “Thank you for your work” emails, much less any real enrichment. My company now is an absolute dream, I had PTSD for about 3 months and everyone else I knew from PNC said it was really hard for them to feel normal at their new place of employment (and there are a LOT of people quitting). They need to hire more people but I think all of the AML money is bottle-necked at the top, where they have four individuals at the top doing who knows what. Wouldn’t wish this place on anyone

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.
