Pros

Citi offers very generous benefits packages, with opportunities to earn additional incentive based on performance. It is generally a positive atmosphere and very laid back.

Cons

Environment is too casual for an office. Managers are not given necessary levels of control to keep staff accountable, which staff is aware of. Poor overall communication

Pros

Great Benefits - Health Insurance is outstanding, 401K still matches at 4% Interesting Work - You are working on some of the biggest problems in business today Good Work/Life Balance - At least in my part of the organization anyway (front-end consumer) Genuinely nice people - Again, can't speak for all the organization (its huge) but I found most people to genuinely nice and helpful

Cons

No Advancement Opportunities - The place has officially died for any sort of advancement opportunity Schizophrenic Personality - The organization may decide to react one way then completely change its mind in six months Large Bureaucracy - Lots of COE (Centers of Excellence, more commonly known as functions outside Citi, ie silos) that do not work well together or at all. Slow to Move - Getting anything done in the organizations takes a Herculean effort most times

Pros

Good place to learn a large skill set Good Benefits Differential and overtime in good supply Some long time employees very happy there Good entry level job for a young person, no age etc discrimination seen If you get a good manager, just do your job and keep your head down and you'll be fine. It will all depend on what manager you get. If you get a bad manager or don't click with yours, you will be in for a miserable ride.

Cons

Unlikely to ever be able to change from the schedule you were hired at. Managers absent from the floor for the better part of days -- and for days at a time -- for meetings. This explains why so many have absolutely no idea what the people in their management groups actually do. Managers can work your scorecard to kill your bonuses and even ability to get raises. Calls are now scored on a metric called the Promise Card. This is subjective and calls are often scored by a large number of different people, with changes to the metric being made so often that it's nigh impossible to figure out how to satisfy it. Extremely stressful environment; stress-related incidents (heart attacks!) and illnesses alarmingly high in some units Very, very high turnover; at our site, I was told 90% a year. Minimal training, which adds to the stress of the job, and lack of floor support to mitigate that.
