Pros

average salary, decent benefits that start day one, used to have good reputation, a firm with cache, has long term future for who remains with firm.

Cons

gov't bailout, loss of reputation, having to sell one piece of citigroup that makes money (smith barney), mgt. not honest with rank and file, they chose to only tell you what they want you to know. HR is a joke. The systems in this place are crazy, it is a hodgepodge of different systems for bonds, stocks and mutual funds. I mean they still have paper after hours tickets, I mean who still has that.

Pros

Hybrid schedule right out of “training” and FT WFH privilege came much faster than expected. There are some great benefits. Job confidence as

Cons

Training was a waste of Citi’s money and a train wreck. Facilitator was all over the place. Normally there’s a flow to training, there was no flow and it was all over the place. OJT felt like sinking or swimming.
