The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Citizens (Plymouth Meeting, PA) in Feb 2010
Interview
After taking an assessment at Citizens website, I received a phone call from a recruiter in Rhode Island. He asked my a couple of questions to qualify me for employment and also a couple of questions about how I would handle a few customer service situations. I was then asked to do an interview day where I sat with 2 branch managers in my area. This was mostly a fit interview with behavioral and sales questions. The interviewers were very nice and made the process comfortable. I did not get an offer at this point, but I realized that I never actually applied for any of the job postings online. I applied yesterday online for a few positions and received another phone call today asking about my availability for a couple locations and scheduled another phone interview.

Question 1
Explain to me how you have handled a difficult customer situation and how you resolved the problem.
It was pretty standard and expected interview. I didn't get anything that i wasnt really expecting from a youtube video and asking industry questions. dont have issues at the moment with the process overall
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.
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.
