Pros

Time in between calls.

Cons

Almost every else, as far as taking days off it’s an extremely complicated system based off company needs and/or the volume of calls. The option to take time off is there, but you have to know how to use it. It gets very tedious and ridiculous having to explain to customers(Home Depot credit services demographic is generally older people w less experience or less access to technology) how to access their credit accounts 7 different ways. The issues with the credit website and logging into accounts just to access their statements seems to have been persistent with about 7+ months ongoing according to many customers. How do you explain to a customer they were notified they had an account that was opened up under their phone number with a different name, that there’s nothing we can do about the endless notifications these people are receiving on accounts they don’t even have open! In all, very simple little things can be done, especially with a company 207 years in the making. At the end of the day YOU are working your HARDEST for a company that is profiting off you, paying not even a livable wage for a job you’ll be spending more time at than your own home. The delightful customers you do get to speak to absolutely do not outweigh the amount of disgust some people bring to your day. It’s very quick to bring your positivity to an all new low.

Pros

Name recognition. Having Citi on your resume will have other recruiters calling you up for interviews. On-site cafeteria. Steady schedule with no work/life balance issues.

Cons

I worked in their Global Screening Operations department, and it was one of the most mundane jobs I've ever had. The job description made it seem a lot more appealing, so I fell for it. The work was extremely monotonous, and basically anyone with half a brain could do it. You don't learn anything of true value from this position. It honestly felt like a trap, because since you don't learn any sought-after skills, it's extremely hard to land a higher level position in another department, let alone landing an interview with them in the first place. There's virtually no team morale since management does not promote team activities/outings. Most of the AML departments at the Tampa campus are volatile, and there were some structural layoffs during my time there. This was a major turn off to me because it didn't seem like there was a difference in job security between a full-time employee and a contractor.

Pros

large organisation with lots of opportunities to move around and gain knowledge of financial services. Lots of tools to learn and develop. Potential for financial rewards for some

Cons

Advancement often more based on perception than merit. Culture and values feel very corporate and fake at times. Employees are just a number. Highly reactive organisation and not for creative or innovative types as very highly regulated.
