Pros

Most of the pros have been taken away. The only pro left is you can work remote, but it negates all the cons.

Cons

Very cheap to their employees. Low compensation and below average benefits. Lots of nepotism, as it’s a family run bank. Don’t waste your time or energy here. Bonuses were taken away and this bank created the haves and have nots. Those who make little, get little (and you’re treated that way) and those who are high up in management or family get many perks others don’t have access too. You will never see a raise at this company. Ever. It a complete mess. If you like being at a company who identifies as 45 different banks- then this is the bank for you! All they do is acquire banks and you never feel like you’re treated as a human here. This bank can’t figure out who or what they are except CHEAP, and they live in the old days of banking with zero ideas of forward thinking. Oh and no growth opportunities here ever.

Pros

Excellent cohesive culture and an accommodating, extensive training program. First Citizens strives to deliver client-oriented service.

Cons

No parking lot. You can't expect one at most retail positions in downtown Boston.

Pros

Great opportunity for learning and growth, and many people in the organization to learn from who are willing to help.

Cons

Over saturation of the market and unrealistic sales goals that are always changing make it difficult to set down stakes for the customers and team. Unlimited PTO leaves many managers picking up slack for multiple branches where other managers are rarely there, even when managers and team members out on medical leave.
