Pros

Nice co-workers who get taken advantage of. Other than that, can't think of anything else nice to say.

Cons

You go through hoops to get hired by a temp company (fingerprinting, etc.). Then once finally hired, you are told that the salary you were told you were going to start at was a "mistake", so instead of starting at $50k, you'll actually start at $36k. Then, once you become a permanent Citibank employee (which you constantly are being told "it will happen soon" and ends up taking over a year), they decide to lay you off due to no work. Then a few months later, another temp agency wants to hire you back on, temp of course, so even if you worked at Citi for 2 years prior, you still have to start at "0". You go through all the same hoops as if you never were employed there. Because you work in a division that deals with Latin America, you are not given Thanksgiving off (even though you work in the US, for a US-owned company). You are required to work Thanksgiving, with no double-time or even time and a half. They are the biggest illegal raquet going on today, and will not stop abusing of their employees, even when they get sued. They take advantage of folks looking for real work (you MUST have a college degree), and treat you as if you were a kid out of high school.

Pros

As Citi is a Global organization there is lot of exposure. You get to interact with lot of people at various levels in the organization. After 1 year, you can move to a different position internally. My immediate managers were pretty nice, learned a lot from them.

Cons

As Citi's Consumer Banking is not growing in US, career growth in Consumer Banking is limited. The culture is less analytical as compared to its peers. Also, there are lot of inefficiencies, you do the same work again and again. Lot of Bureaucracy and Hierarchy is there, its tough to get approval of strategies from the management. Also, Promotions are very tough
