Advice to Senior Management

Promote talent based on ability and not personality. Create more staff development at all levels. More consistent and precise disclosure.

Politics, unnecessary processes and health plan.

Advice to Senior Management

Think at the stand of front office staffs and need to get real touch of the markets. Make sensible change.

Pros

Positive Working Environment, Nice colleagues.

Cons

There are some People who are too old for the job. It's Not only hampering the growth for new employees but also the employees are not able to showcase their ideas.

Advice to Senior Management

Retire the old fellas and make Citi look young and bright with lods of new ideas and achievements, It the company wants to see any big growth in the future.

Pros

Great work parties and sponsorship dinners. Pay is higher than most banks but only becuase you have to research everything on your own on mediocre technology.

Cons

Micromanaging managers, the technology is horrible, banker help line is horrible they have no idea how to resolve customer issues. Help line is outsourced to another country. bonus package kept changing..

Advice to Senior Management

Change systems and to stick with a consistent way of compensating employees

Pros

Great reputation, great benefits, staff is always great to work with. Definitely have competitive pay and benefit packages, but overall leadership skills are lacking.

Cons

Leadership skills are lacking. Management always changing things, giving you the runaround. At least in the Los Angeles area, its very difficult to move up or grow within the company. Not only at my locations, but know of many cases where management preferred to hire from outside the company than within, despite there being many highly qualified people within the company.

Pros

stable job, good benefits, pays better than other financial institutions.

Cons

lack of communication with upper management, poor balance with work/life, needs better management.

Pros

One of the best reasons to work at Citibank are the benefits. Their compensation package is lacking but the medical, dental and vision is excellent and accepted almost everywhere. I would also say Citi looks good on your resume.

Cons

Citibank is still lacking in pay scale to their new and existing employees. They simply don't give enough raises, and often make cuts.

Advice to Senior Management

My advice for senior management would be make your employees feel appreciated. And look at some of the facilities in other operations around town. People/employees talk and it makes a difference.

Pros

Good opportunities to advance within the same business sector.

Cons

Very little ability to make a move into other than your original business sector.

Advice to Senior Management

Legacy computer systems are layered one upon the other until systems are far too complicated. Citibank can be a market leader in a specific niche - global banking. It should concentrate on that.

Pros

Benefits are good.
Excellent exposure and experience which forces you to make big decisions on the spot
Challenging atmosphere that builds character and level of thinking.
Always changing
Global connectivity: meeting and collaborating with people all over the world

Cons

Too structured
Lack of balance between personal and work life

Advice to Senior Management

Encourage and assist employees in achieveing healthy work and personal life balance as this will maximise their productivity
