"Good, solid company to work for. Not very diverse and very flat. Little room for growth unless highly skilled."

Pros
Stable 100 year old company in railroad industry. Cyclical but resilient business of freight car leasing. Company respected in industry and has staying power due to younger age of fleet.
Cons
Lack of diversity and opportunity. Rail division is very flat and monochromatic. Not many women in management. Feelings of the good ole boys network at times.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at CIT full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
I've been with the company for a few months now. I knew as soon as I interviewed with Sr Management this was a positive environment to build a career. They offer professional flexibility to keep you engaged and strongly encourage learning and development. Management is available but allows independent productivity to encourage growth. All departments come together as strong contributors to their local community through volunteering and monthly charitable contributions. I feel they genuinely value the work of their people. They are flexible and allow work from home as needed. They definitely understand family and work to provide a good work/life balance. The benefits are comparable to similar companies. Management is very knowledgeable and keeps an open door policy. Staff is very friendly and Rail, as a whole, is a very interesting field to make a career in. Advancement opportunities: Unsure Pay: Fair PTO: Sick, Personal and Vacation
Cons
No cons so far.

Star Star Star Star Star- Work/Life Balance

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at CIT full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
WiFi, convenient location, friendly campus, casual work attire, somewhat competitive benefit package, ability to work-from-home occasionally in some job positions.
Cons
Weak people managers with little or no experience in managing teams and no training on how to manage adult teams. Very outdated technology, absolute lack of career development and growth opportunities, anemic annual raises, micro-management style with extreme distrust of non-management employees
Advice to Management
Please do not become another Citigroup or Bank of America, where returning capital to the investors is all that matters, even at the cost of employees' well-being. If the employees become disenchanted and feel disrespected by leadership, CIT will become another mediocre, lack luster employer with high turnover and falling NPS scores.

Pros
Co-workers were nice, good location
Cons
Poor management....While Sr. Management say they care about the EE's, line managment really doesn't unless you can do something for them. Medical is not good. Revolving chairs in the C-Suite lots of people coming and going. Looks like getting the co ready to be sold off. I would not recommend working there a any age or level in this climate. BTW Heard lots of people got downsized recently.
Advice to Management
Truly care about people. Eiminate middle managment thatb does not care. HR Listn to complaints abou middle managment and do something about those who should not manage people and have poor management skills.
