Pros

Great benefits. Competitive 401k match, pension, good healthcare coverage, strong work/life balance initiative.

Cons

They recently slashed commissions but did not give any reason as to why. The new incentive structure makes it nearly impossible to reach the payout factor. Management needs to provide more clarity as to why they make the changes they do. They preach retaining talent, but the current morale is low and employees are being picked off by other banks that offer more competitive salaries and bonus structures. If you wish to retain good performers, then compensate them accordingly. It seems like turnover is at an all time high. I used to really respect the company, but current changes are prompting employees to listen to outside recruiters.

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.
