Former Employee – worked at CIT Group

ProsHas good medical and dental benefits

ConsSince the new CEO and CIO joined the company, many re-organizations have occurred and jobs impacted. Didn't take the time to assess talent and move individuals to different positions.

Livingston, NJ (US)

Current Employee – been working at CIT Group as an intern for less than a year

ProsHonestly, I cannot think of any. The people there are somewhat nice and the team I worked with had some very nice people - but that's about it. They're just nice.

ConsThe company culture is awful. There doesn't seem to be any ambition amongst any of the employees. It just seems a stopover for some people until they find something better.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Livingston, NJ (US)

Current Employee – been working at CIT Group as an intern for less than a year

ProsWell established, well structured company; as would be expected for a company that's been around as long as they have.

Great intern program, with really engaging projects.

Management was organized (at least in my department) and knew what they were doing

ConsThe market really had taken it's toll by the second summer I interned there. The atmosphere was a little tense (as would be expected since they were filing for Chapter 11). I'm sure things have stabilized for them now.

Probably not the most enjoyable atmosphere for younger talent, as most of the employees tended to be from an older generation.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
