Pros

It’s a job. That’s the only pro.

Cons

Unethical sales practices. Extremely frequent turnover, every branch is running on bare minimum staffing, not leaving a safe amount of people in a branch, leaving brand new hires alone with one other employee which realistically makes the one more tenured employee feel alone and overwhelmed. Inadequate and just not good training. Leadership is lacking. Managers are stressed and unprofessional but their boss above them is typically no help at all. Hours are long. There is no work life balance. Expected to open to close, not leaving the branch until 6:30 pm. Saturdays are frequent due to minimum staff but no day off during week to compensate. Overtime isn’t offered, it’s just pushed on you. You are guilted if you need to use a sick day. You are asked to cancel vacations. You are called and texted on vacations due to lack of knowledge of management needing to know how to do something.

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.
