Pros

You learn a lot regarding bank security & card member security, Being able to help the most vulnerable to fraud is very rewarding. You eventually get to work from home.

Cons

They FORCE you to consider them your "family"; however they are a company first people. I had a family member at end stage cancer and was told "we all go through hard times. Life goes on and the business needs to keep moving". Training is a joke. The UM's constantly came in to either gossip or tear us down "just do your job and you won't be fired" We weren't allowed to take notes during training, the UMs gossiped and interrupted the class numerous times. It was an all around terrible experience. Our office was this way and I certainly hope other Cit locations aren't like this.

Pros

Hybrid schedule, supportive managers, opportunities

Cons

Once you’re in, comp basically plateaus. Layoffs are happening across the board, which tends to be the full-time culture of citi. The vibe is very much “run lean” until something actually breaks, and only then consider adding headcount. You have to be intentional about protecting your work-life balance, because the implicit expectation is that you’re always on—24/7, 365—without the support of a properly staffed team.
