Pros

Hopefully no more mergers for a while?

Cons

Former CIT employee. When it was announced that CIT was being acquired by FCB, they put most of my team on notice that we were marked as "transitional", meaning they will let us go at an unannounced time. Needless to say, everyone left that received this news the first chance they got. It blows my mind they thought it was a good idea to trim entire departments and provide no incentive for "transitional" folks to stay on to assist with any transition. I can understand hearing that a role will be made redundant in X months, but replacing X with "whenever we feel like it" is unfair, to say the least. Ironically, they are hiring back many of the positions they marked as transitional, but at a higher salary.

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.
