Pros

After the changes that came after the financial crisis debacle, I can not think of a single positive comment to make about Citi.

Cons

Management at all levels treat staff like cattle. Compensation is barely competitive with other institutions, but they don't care, if you don't like it - leave.

Pros

Friendly coworkers and team leads, also great trainer.

Cons

The interview process took 6 months and the interview was misleading about what the job actually entails. This is a production type job where success is measured by how many hours you work. Everyone works about 80 hours a week in order to finish the job and they are expected to (no overtime pay). The job is very monotonous and no analytical skills are required, your job is to take screen shots and document them. They take advantage of people who cannot afford to quit and therefore the stress level is super high. People will tell you that they work 40 to 50 hours a week when you just get hired but no one does in this department, 70 to 80 it is. If you think you might need a sick day, do not take it, you will have to make up for it during the weekend, if you go on vacation you have to find someone to cover your work. If there is a holiday, your work does not decrease; therefore you will have to work those holidays or your weekends. If someone quits from your team and someone does every month, their work is now your team’s responsibility (more work, more hours). The turnover is very high and people are just unhappy. Factoring in the hours and the salary you are given, you will average about $10 an hour with your four year bachelor’s degree. They hire anyone for this job and they are playing a number’s game.

Pros

Health insurance used to be amazing. With the new CEO, things have gone downhill. The culture is great, if you are part of a group. There are fundraisers for the community, pot lucks, and bake sales constantly. The break rooms are full of coffee and vending machines offering anything you can imagine.

Cons

They are constantly restructuring the company. They expect people to do the jobs of 3 people. Some of the higher level management is completely clueless. Others are brilliant. You have to hope that you get a good one, or your work life could be awful. There is a lot of favoritism within the company. They promote meritocracy, but employees never see it.
