Pros

Basically the money was the only good part about working for Citi. Well, the benefits as well, but still just money.

Cons

Citifinancial : extremely pressuring. The economy was tanking, banks were not lending, and management was brilliant to the point of holding us to goals from 2006-2007 during the first year of a depression(2008..). They bribed me to come through saying "bonuses are huge". Ya, a whole $50 if you were a good boy, good thing I could rely on their salary. Then, they're shady. I was being pressured to sell insurance before I was licensed. If an old lady walked in knowing nothing, I was supposed to give her a loan for double her interest (not exagerating) and double what she could realistically afford. Normal retail sure, but I'm stressing the pressure for output when at the time, there was no lending. Can't imagine what it would be now with only a trickle of economy coming back..Oh, and we pretty much forced people to go on different programs such as auto pay or "renewing" their loans for "skipping a pmt". The renewals end up just screwing them, takes triple the time to pay off a loan, nice Christmas present. And when I say force, ever heard someone say " ya, well our policy has changed...This is the way we're doing business now.." You're not saying "no", that would be illegal, just change of policy.

Pros

Your peers. I have a great group of co-workers though multiple have left because of HORRIBLE direct management in the AM department.

Cons

Low hourly pay. Tricky incentives. Shark like environment. Terrible and I mean TERRIBLE managers. Favoritism runs rampant at this place and goes unchecked. Lazy, incompetent department manager makes up his own rules (you MUST use your break time to go the bathroom) which goes endorsed by his superiors and HR. Reward people who live at that place and work insane OT hours because of the low pay, but crap on people working the normal amount of hours because you’re based on the “average”. Truly one of the worst management staffs I have ever seen coupled with lackadaisical training and one of the dumbest rules I’ve ever heard of…you must be at One Main for ONE ENTIRE YEAR before you can transfer out of the department or move up. Trust me when I say run as far away as you can from this place.
