Pros

Because they are very flexible with your schedule, if you need time off ((in our department, because this is very dependent on who your manager is), I have never seen it not granted.

Cons

Its...."who you know"....when it comes to promotions, senior management does not really qualify in our department to be "Senior Management". Persons are always on the defensive because upper management does not communicate with the employees and everyone is afraid that their job is going to be outsourced...there have been a few titles already outsourced, but management waits until the last minute to tell the employees that it will affect, and will not tell the truth to the other departments.

Pros

Hybrid schedule right out of “training” and FT WFH privilege came much faster than expected. There are some great benefits. Job confidence as

Cons

Training was a waste of Citi’s money and a train wreck. Facilitator was all over the place. Normally there’s a flow to training, there was no flow and it was all over the place. OJT felt like sinking or swimming.
