Pros

Higher salaries compared to other banks. But this seems to be true during 2007-2008. But starting in the latter part of 2009, the commissions have disappeared and bonuses have decreased by half. This is a direct result of increased goals.

Cons

After the mid 2009, Citibank began focusing on quantity rather than quality. Today, every PB is required to open 40-50 accounts per month. This is very frustrating when you're an honest individual who tries to do the best for clients and find yourself without any available time. No payouts for any loan products.

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.
