The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Citizens (Plymouth Meeting, PA) in Feb 2010
Interview
After taking an assessment at Citizens website, I received a phone call from a recruiter in Rhode Island. He asked my a couple of questions to qualify me for employment and also a couple of questions about how I would handle a few customer service situations. I was then asked to do an interview day where I sat with 2 branch managers in my area. This was mostly a fit interview with behavioral and sales questions. The interviewers were very nice and made the process comfortable. I did not get an offer at this point, but I realized that I never actually applied for any of the job postings online. I applied yesterday online for a few positions and received another phone call today asking about my availability for a couple locations and scheduled another phone interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain to me how you have handled a difficult customer situation and how you resolved the problem.
Very welcoming, conversational. The manager was enthusiastic and spoke about the culture and job requirements. I felt positive about Citizens Bank, coming from another field. I do not have any thing else to say.
It was pretty standard and expected interview. I didn't get anything that i wasnt really expecting from a youtube video and asking industry questions. dont have issues at the moment with the process overall
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Citizens (Broadview Heights, OH) in Aug 2025
Interview
The interview process was very easy. I completed an online assessment and video interview first. After evaluating my online assessment and video interview, I was contacted by Citizens with different selections for scheduling an interview. I picked one, showed up early (as they ask that you show up 15 minutes early), and sat down with the Branch Manager. It was a great interview and the Branch Manager was very courteous and friendly while demonstrating that they were very passionate about their role with Citizens. It was a great interview experience.
