Pros

Vacation time and benefits are decent. Work life balance is good (If you find the right group).

Cons

PNC re-vamped their compensation bands a few years back which made a complete mess of things. Most of the time your 1% annual raise is keeping you at the minimum of your pay range despite how long you've been in the role and your skill level. You're rarely being compensated for your performance so there is little incentive to exceed expectations. There is little room for advancement after a certain point, they've started cutting down on the higher individual contributor paygrades leaving really only a handful of "levels". So if you change jobs and you're moving to a job that's in the same level, it's very difficult to get any additional comp (sometimes). I would recommend negotiating a higher salary when coming into the bank and only staying for a few years. They have a lot more flexibility negotiating salaries for external candidates. Managers can be hit or miss here, I've hand great ones and awful ones. So it all depends on the group you get in to.

Pros

If you are under the right branch management, working day to day can be a breeze. The vacation policy is great, and the support they provide to help you move up in the company is easy.

Cons

The challenging part is keeping your branch manager happy by hitting your monthly goals, so they do not get pulled into meetings about the branch performance. If your branch has terrible traffic, it will get annoying fast, hitting the phones and the same clients every day. Try to work at a branch that does not work on Saturday's so you have more time for yourself.
