Pros

Work Life Balance in my group was great, people were treated with a lot of respect and the team was very committed

Cons

Too many systems, very unwieldy and bureaucratic. People still thought they worked for Smith Barney and not Citi - which indicates that the culture was not fully assimilated through all the acquisitions

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
