Pros

Working for Citi in Dublin may seem like a great idea at the time but you quickly realize it has militant approach, meaning managers treat you badly and constantly offend you and once you become a manager you will probably start to treat co workers the same way, conditioned. Horrible work culture, no pros

Cons

HR is not there to help you so they will listen but will use everything against you, example, you can tell HR you feel your manager is being mentally abusive and constantly talking down on you in front of team yet HR will ask if manager has physically hit you which isnt the case, this way they try to frame you & miss understand your concerns to protect their bully managers, many of these bad managers have been in CITI for at least 10-15 years and are going nowhere. I've seen people bullied out of company by bad managers, then return to company years later hoping things have changed only to be escorted out the building again after a few months for no reason (other than previously being bullied), the bully manager made sure the person was kicked out again, disgraceful and not the first time this has happened. People turn a blind eye because they are afraid it will affect their careers if they stand up to it, so people become submissive. Also some Irish managers don't like to hear other languages on the floor, they rather you speak English because they are paranoid people are talking about them, this would happen in an international team so absurd. You have been warned and will quickly realize its a big mistake joining the Citi team in Dublin.

Pros

Great Benefits and colleagues, but poor management here. Some managers are decent, but expectations are extremely high for a very low base pay. Very little to no room for advancement within the company unless management favors you. Metrics and monthly sales quotas are highly stressed, but they do nothing for you in regard to moving up in the company.

Cons

Very low base pay Little to no room for advancement High sales quotas/ little bonus Toxic management Extended hours No OVERTIME PAY
