Good pay for high school graduates Good 401(k) plan and company match your contributions Good benefits (dental and vision) Merit increase every year (by a few percent)

Cons

Your pay does not go up with the level of stress The more you know, the more responsibilities you have, and the more you have to do, which creates an unbalanced workloads for the "Teller group" management is biased; favoring one individual over another based on looks

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.
