Pros

I get paid. They have free coffee in the break rooms.

Cons

The work environment is laughable. Entire departments are being ran by people who act like they're still in high school. Promotions only occur based upon who you know, not what you know or what you've done in your role. Upper Management is absolutely clueless and retaliates if they revive push back or constructive criticism. Those that do question the actions of management are labeled as someone playing the victim and/or "difficult to work with". (Seriously, they have a "Change Matrix" that was provided to the employees that outlines what you are based upon your reactions to changes within the company - "victim", "change champion", etc. ) I used to love working for this company, now I spend every day trying to find a better opportunity. The stress and morale of the company has gotten so bad, I get anxiety before going into work each day.

Pros

Compared with similarly sized institutions, PNC offers decent work-life balance. But it all depends on who your manager is. People are generally very helpful and always willing to answer questions. For the most part, I enjoyed my time there.

Cons

Compensation is frequently ranked among the bottom percentile in the industry, and this was no exception for myself. They do not take into account the cost of living of a certain area when you are in their analyst program. For example, someone in Nashville would have to the same compensation as someone with the same position in San Francisco. During my time there, it definitely felt very “laissez faire”. Communication among deal team members was also a bit unpolished, with juniors frequently having to play catch up. The bureaucracy and level of siloing between lines of business is awful. It slows down deal execution and overall efficiency.
