Pros

401k match, some people are friendly

Cons

The "better way" that is going in the Operations part of this bank is a complete joke. Everyday you have a huddle in the morning asking you what your "mood" is on a big white board and what your productivity for each of the functions that you work on the following day are on it (red and green percent numbers that are rated against the bench marks). It truly feels like you are in kindergarten every morning. You have to have a timer running in your face your whole day on your computer screen because this is the "Better Way initiative" for time utilization and productivity. Pay is a joke now since no one is getting raises anymore since they lowered all the pay grades and new people on average $3 hr less now from previous hires. If you are a hard worker, don't waste your time with this company!

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.
