PNC Financial Services Group Employee Review

Current Employee – been working at PNC Financial Services Group part-time for more than 8 years

Pros – - 500 Firstside Center, great location to use public transportation to get to work, right next to First Ave. Station
- Great 1 on 1 monthly feedback from management from a performance perspective, concerns with employment, or even interpersonal communication to expand one's network.
- Great many ways upper management finds to recognize and reward employees for consistently performing above expectations in terms of attendance, performance, and productivity. From promotional PNC points awarded to spend in the PNC store, annual employee appreciation week, and many opportunities to choose to work additional hours on holiday pay.

Cons – - If you apply for the weekend shift, know that you will be applicable for a weekend differential. PNC provides a small incentive pay to those willing to become weekend warriors.
- Working on your feet 40 hours a week will be tiring for anyone, so be forewarned if you expect to do a lot of cardio with your feet.
- Be prepared to pack your own food for lunch and breaks. Employees currently are not able to combine their 15 minutes break and 30 minutes lunch during a workday. The only fast food restaurants close to the 500 Firstside center location is a Subway <5 minutes walk, everywhere else is at least 10-15 minutes walking distance away. Not helpful when you close the cafeteria on the 5th floor on the weekends.

Advice to Senior Management – None, but one small con covered in my Cons above. Management has come a long ways from when I started in 2004, and it has taken all the right paths and directions. So much has improved, from directing not 1 supervisor per floor but multiple supervisors per each function, greater interpersonal communication to each individual employee, and finally greater training from more experienced trainers to better acquaint new employees.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
