Pros

PNC was a place filled with talented, respectful people. The opportunites of advancement were clear and evident as I was surrounded by people who were promted a number of times in a short period. The respect level was high no matter how high you went up in senior management. I had the opportunity to meet everyone from branch managers to Jim Rohr himself and I did not feel looked down upon by anyone in the company. The company provided all the tools needed to succeed in your job along with an infinite amount of support. When/if ever you struggled in any part of your job, someone was always there to lend a helping hand and provide encouragement. Overall a great place to start, and even end your professional career.

Cons

Unfortunately PNC's systems were very slow and felt clumsy. Opening new accounts or servicing existing ones were sometimes long and tedious processes, depending on how their Genesis program was working that day. Sometimes when there was a rush of customers in the morning, Genesis would crash and delay work tremendously. It seemed this was a pretty common occurrence throughout the company that hasn't been fully dealt with for a decently long period of time.

Pros

The work is engaging and fast-moving

Cons

Tasks fall through the cracks. Realize that security is a good line of business at PNC. People in other LOBs are less happy if you look at their online reviews.

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.
