Pros

The pros would be that I moved up very quickly in the company, but mostly because so many people quit that there are always openings. The benefits and 401k plan are great as well. This is a good place for someone right out of college to get their feet wet with sales/management and it will look great on a resume, but I do not recommend it long-term.

Cons

The con would be that they have some of the worst compensation compared to other banks even smaller ones. The "upper" management only care about numbers and goals and believe that any team can be replaced. You are required to hit your goals each month in every position that you are in even if you were on vacation or in training for two or more of those weeks. Every time that I got a promotion it was almost like a step-back in pay. The bonus/commission structure is really difficult to hit and it is confusing which makes it really hard to see if it is correct or not.

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.
