Citi Risk reviews

Great benefits are to offset the "corporate hamster wheel" day to day experience. Managers treated employees like children - small "rewards", contests etc... A monotonous clock-watching job.

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.
