Pros

Citizens in my experience has been a bank that has higher base salaries, as their incentives are not geared to actually give anyone aside from branch managers a decent bonus. However, my time here taught me a lot, they have a great training program and teach very useful skills that can translate anywhere.

Cons

The company is having some serious retention issues. People do not feel appreciated and there is no communication from upper management until a problem has gotten too big. Since separating from RBS they seem to be going through a culture crisis and cannot decide what they want the culture to be.

Pros

The pros are the benefits, the pay could be higher for all that you learn and have to go through for ten weeks. They offer tuition assistance and opportunity for upskilling and advancing in such little time and the remote flexibility is great too

Cons

Management sucks and of course they have their favorites and then they have the people they target like myself. They micromanage bad and are quick to give you an occurrence for nothing. Their systems are so slow and then they blame you for being five ten minutes late logging in. They want you to tell them when you get up to breathe, go to the bathroom and they push for you to take calls and know boatloads of info after on 3 weeks of training. What they don’t know is that I will sue for any wrong doings or discrimination and I keep records of everything
