Pros

The work environment was good and they allowed lots of flexibility (ability to come in an hour earlier and leave an hour earlier, etc.). Some people were even allowed to work from home four out of five days. And the work was exactly what I liked doing.

Cons

No opportunity for growth and lots of empty promises. I noticed people getting promoted and then leaving (in droves). Could not understand it until I was offered a "promotion" with no pay raise. Went on glass door and the Bureau Labor Statistics to see what the pay raise should have been and realized they were already way off from what I was getting. They made lots of promises to try and make up for the differences, but a little research uncovered that they made similar promises to others without delivering. By the way, I received top ratings in both my annual reviews (I was there less than three years). Speaking with HR after being told that the only way I could expect to receive a cost of living increase in the next year was by taking the "promotion", I found that they had not adjusted the pay range for my grade level in years and had no intention of updating it for the following year. So even if I liked it there enough to keep my current job and the sub-par pay range, I could expect I would never see a raise to even keep up with inflation. It was time to leave.

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.
