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.

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

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

Pros

Solid pay, comp structure Many good co-workers/partners Some flexibility in your day-to day

Cons

Nonstop Work Little to none support/training Mediocre at best management Numbers, numbers, and numbers is all they care about Headed down the path of Chase, Wells, BofA in a bad way of growing but looking at numbers nonstop and profits so they don’t care about employees or customers.
