Pros

Voluntary time off and generous pto. It was nice not having to ask to use it. (You will need it. See below)

Cons

It’s glorified customer service, a little bit of a misleading job description. They try to fluff it up and make it sound like it’s more than it is. You’ll be taking back to back calls and have to deal with disrespectful customers and managers. Toxic isn’t even the word. This place runs on fear and control. Management micromanages you like it’s their full-time hobby. Want to use the bathroom? You’re expected to IM them every single time—and they’ll still message you if you're not back in five minutes like you’re taking a vacation in there. No room for growth unless you’re there for 50 years, they say after a year you can get promoted but they have unrealistic and harsh metrics. If you’re missing one you’re not going anywhere, lateral moves are possible but competitive. Don’t waste your time unless you’re starting out in a better role perhaps.

Pros

Hybrid schedule, supportive managers, opportunities

Cons

Once you’re in, comp basically plateaus. Layoffs are happening across the board, which tends to be the full-time culture of citi. The vibe is very much “run lean” until something actually breaks, and only then consider adding headcount. You have to be intentional about protecting your work-life balance, because the implicit expectation is that you’re always on—24/7, 365—without the support of a properly staffed team.
