Easy job but no room for growth at all.
Customer Care Representative (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 23 October 2018
Overall Citi is a decent place to work, its easy and friendly environment. The issue with the job is that overtime everything is very robotic, nothing really changes. You feel brain dead doing the same job day in day out. Managers can vary some being very nice and easy going, while others are strict and by the book. The HARDEST part of this job is career advancement. Theres little opportunity for growth within the company, often times favouritism is employed when new opening come up. Another negative is the very high employee turn over. One of the worst parts about this job is its nearly impossible to get a day off, theres like zero flexibility at all when it comes to booking vacation. The nice part about working at Citi is the job itself is easy and very accessible area, lots of parking, diverse culture of people.
Pros
Good location
Cons
Zero opportunities for development
Vast opportunities for career growth and professional exposure
Vice President - Finance (Former Employee) – National Capital Region – 7 September 2018
With it's global reach, Citi offers a tremendous volume of career opportunities to those who are willing to work hard for it. The slogan - "Citi never sleeps" - is true. You will experience complex assignments, be exposed to multi national cultures and test your limits as you start your career. Best place to mold your work ethics and discipline.
poor work environment
Branch Account Executive (Former Employee) – Prince George, BC – 14 January 2018
high stress job with poor management. goal oriented business - expectations are unrealistic. overtime is expected when you dont meet your targets as a team and/or individually - expect to work 6 days a week more often than not. hours are extended with little notice, so if you are looking for a 9-5 monday-friday, i would advise you keep scrolling. little to no team building exercised. a negative work environment with no privacy - no cubicles, and desks are close together. wages are decent and they have good benefits though....
Pros
wages, benefits
Cons
no work/life balance, high stress, negative work environment, poor management

Excellent team of workers
Great place to learn the ropes
Relationship Manager (Former Employee) – Bahrain – 29 June 2018
Citibank Bahrain is a great place to learn the business of Wealth Management, the pay depends on commissions so makes life challenging sometimes.
The teams are divided so extra challenge, and not all team leaders are effective, so you end up with unhealthy competition

Fun and professional
Senior Account Executive (Former Employee) – Surrey, BC – 26 January 2018
Very organized and a place where sales skills were built by professionals giving training and support. Management was amazing. Helping clients with financial needs was the best part of the job. Months that were slow in sales was difficult because you had pressure to maintain sales goals.
Pros
work life balance
Cons
late night hours
The culture depends on the specific group
Software Development Analyst (Current Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 12 January 2018
Overall is good, but I am looking for more fast past environment.
At Citi, the work-life balance is very good, it has decent benefits package, colleagues are nice. However, the banking industry policy is very restricted.

Great place to work and learn and progress but....
Assistant Vice President (Current Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 29 July 2017
Too much of work pressure and working 10 hrs is a norm and expectation from the management though you are only paid for 7.5 hours. Weekends are also tight. this might not be entirely true if you are working on the development or any other team. Support teams are fully loaded. Salaries are just good enough but not at par with the market. No work-life balance!!
Pros
free car parking
Cons
less salary, more work including weekends, no personal life as you grow up
Great place to make a career
Deputy CityHead (Current Employee) – Самарская область – 1 April 2018
Citi's a perfect employer for a career. Great team, a lot of new projects everyday. Everyday routine is up to you - you have goals and business expects you to achieve them.
A company I wouldn't mind working for again!
Senior SQL Server Analyst/Developer (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 25 March 2018
Was a really good experience. Excellent manager and professional team. Exhibited team work in true spirit. My issues were personal though... couldn't handle difficult English accents with some international team mates in Asia and that was absolutely important to my understanding the business and performance. But I left Citi because I wanted to actively trade stocks and there were restrictions, which are understandable for a financial company.
Also, excellent professional development opportunities!

insecure and unstable company
Credits Analyst and Customer Service (Former Employee) – La libertad El Salvador – 14 March 2015
To begin with , a typical day at work was easy not really demanding or challenging whatsoever. Delivering forms, analyzing customers profiles to check if they were eligible to get a loan .
I've learned about local financial policies.
Management were insecure as well , old fashioned people who denigrates new and young employees. They knew about the business tough, but they never improved it .
Co workers were great people , teaching me how to improve professional life , as they did .
Hardest part of the job, do the supervisors job when she didn't can.
The most enjoyable part was the weekends off and the opportunity to allow me continue with the university

Growth and Development
Manager (Current Employee) – National Capital Region – 21 May 2018
Citi can recognize real talent and willing to invest in their growth and development.
Several programs are implemented to develop future leaders.
Citi also sees to it that all employees are aware of its overall mission and leadership standards which all aim to give a remarkable customer experience.

It ws a great place to work. Since there was only a small staff it was easy to get along and we actually liked being around each other.
Branch Account Executive 2 (Former Employee) – Gander, NL – 5 February 2018
I think our customers benefitted from the fact that we all got along and worked very well as a team and individuals. I only left the company to go to a job with higher salary.
