Pros

Great upper level management who is focused on both changing things and retaining talent. They have brought in some management from other servicers to help assess the horrible problems going in on the default side of servicing. Great exposure to different areas and managers.

Cons

Middle level management and down is very uneducated. Almost everyone has a poor attitude which becomes contagious. Mortgage as a Line of Business is the worst performing part of PNC. PNC Mortgage and PNC Bank are two completely different companies. Still culture issues from the National City merger. Everyone refers to PNC as "the bank". Also there are SEVEN different buildings on the campus, so getting from meeting to meeting is a joke. Lastly, if you are relocating be sure to research the Dayton area before you move here because there is not much. Most people working there have been with the company and lived in the area for life, very sheltered thinkers. If you have to work here live in Cincinnati! Support for the program is inconsistent among management. No realistic opportunities after completing the program, some people even took pay cuts! Very sad situation.

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.
