Pros
benefits and pay are the only ones
Cons
The worst technology and upper management you will see anywhere. Systems straight from the 1980's which follows the overall feel of the bank. Awful remote desktop with issues every other day. 500mb mail box maximum. 3-4 major reorgs every year with people literally being treated as plugs. When you enter the cfg system they literally move you around wherever they want. No direction and forward thinking here. They are trying to bring in as many people from outside banks as they can because no one at CFG can actually think for themselves. No ownership of anything taken.

Pros
Great benefits, Opportunities to grow, good training
Cons
Unless you are OK with harassing people with phone calls and sales, this is NOT the job for you. Upper Management breath down your neck all the time if you dont sell your soul. Branch located inside stores have long and late hours with no sundays off.

Pros
PTO + Vacation Work/Life Balance Decent place to work without requiring degree High Turnover creates quick path upward Typically fast pace if you are a good manager Opportunity to grow colleagues and coach 1 on 1
Cons
Customers given incentive to do all account openings online by the same company micro-managing your daily sales. Retail Banking slowly dying therefore pressure keeps mounting with less and less opportunity. High Turnover creates instability and burnout Very disorganized with new initiatives - Flavor of the Week Upper Management sometimes disconnect with what retail life really looks like Pulled in 100 different directions everyday
