Pros

Pro: Good benefits for this area.

Cons

Phony employee recognition programs, feel good, touchy feely programs that become so rampant they don't mean anything. System is rigged so that the front line employee is always wrong, no matter how unrealistic management goals are. Management pushes Great Customer Service, yet employee not given the time to GIVE good Customer Service. The VOE program (Voice of the Employee) has a lot of time spent on it, yet I did not feel that management really listened, just paid lip service. Also, the Morality of Citi being able to borrow from the Fed (even before its bailout) at low interest rates 2% or lower, and then turn around and lend that out at 28-30% IS the definition of usury from the Bible, at least to me. I am glad to be gone from them.

Pros

Benefits & pay are competitive. Not the top in the industry, but good. Excellent opportunities for professional development for people who are self-starters and motivated to learn.

Cons

Business leaders use all the popular buzzwords and phrasing to assure you the business is leading the industry, but in practice Senior Leadership is hanging on to archaic business strategies like their lives depend on it.
