      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Citizens (Albany, NY) in Aug 2012

      Interview

      Read up on this position on glassdoor quite a bit before applying. Applied online, which consisted of a fill-in application, questionnaire, and an assessment that took about 20 minutes. The questionnaire was your basic "do you believe that bending the rules is wrong," sort of ethical test. The assessment was multiple choice and broken down into several parts including mathematical skills, reasoning, and determining the difference between two given sentences. In my opinion, they were very simple to complete. Afterwards, you are prompted that your application was submitted and to look out for a call from HR. About 2 weeks later I heard from an HR representative who set up a phone interview. This was a standard 30 minute conversation about your personal history, job history, and why you're interested in the position. At the end the representative made it very clear that this was a SALES position, with a very, VERY high emphasis on sales, (including cold calling and staying late certain nights for call parties) which could be even higher based on what location you were finally placed in. Finally, we set up a face to face interview, which turned out to be almost like an open house call for bankers across the region. You sit down with a manager from another branch, discuss why you're qualified, your past history, he/she asks relatively easy to answer questions like "tell me about a time you provided excellent customer service at your current position." The interviewer then determined if you were fit, and discussed it with the HR representative, who passed on the application to your local or closet branch to home. The branch manager for the local location called about a week after to schedule an interview. Don't be surprised if they want you to interview ASAP, as they want to fill this position very quickly. This face to face interview was more of a conversation about the job, specifics about sales goals at that branch, and what you wanted to get out of the position, or how you think you would fit into that position.Finally, a few days later the HR representative called back and offered the osition.

      I interviewed at Citizens (Cleveland, OH)

      Interview

      Very welcoming, conversational. The manager was enthusiastic and spoke about the culture and job requirements. I felt positive about Citizens Bank, coming from another field. I do not have any thing else to say.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Citizens (Broadview Heights, OH) in Aug 2025

      Interview

      The interview process was very easy. I completed an online assessment and video interview first. After evaluating my online assessment and video interview, I was contacted by Citizens with different selections for scheduling an interview. I picked one, showed up early (as they ask that you show up 15 minutes early), and sat down with the Branch Manager. It was a great interview and the Branch Manager was very courteous and friendly while demonstrating that they were very passionate about their role with Citizens. It was a great interview experience.
