Pros

Im not sure what the best reason to work for citi is. It used to be a respected name in banking but that is not the case anymore. I would stay away for now and hope they can dig out of the hole they are in.

Cons

It used to be a good name but current market conditions have changed. I originally felt that there was plenty of room for advancement but they seem to hire senior management from outside and are very reluctant to promote from within.Senior management has been telling us we were well capitalized for over a year however we continue to need bailout money.

Pros

Great benefits. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They do more than just pay lip service to work life balance

Cons

Like any job, the manager is the one that can make or break the position

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
