Pros

Vacation time and benefits are decent. Work life balance is good (If you find the right group).

Cons

PNC re-vamped their compensation bands a few years back which made a complete mess of things. Most of the time your 1% annual raise is keeping you at the minimum of your pay range despite how long you've been in the role and your skill level. You're rarely being compensated for your performance so there is little incentive to exceed expectations. There is little room for advancement after a certain point, they've started cutting down on the higher individual contributor paygrades leaving really only a handful of "levels". So if you change jobs and you're moving to a job that's in the same level, it's very difficult to get any additional comp (sometimes). I would recommend negotiating a higher salary when coming into the bank and only staying for a few years. They have a lot more flexibility negotiating salaries for external candidates. Managers can be hit or miss here, I've hand great ones and awful ones. So it all depends on the group you get in to.

Pros

Amazing Work Culture Really cool and down to earth people At the time* this place has amazing projects and lots to do (idk how long that stays true)

Cons

Pretty Big Underpay tbh even when looking at COL Only two locations starting: Pittsburgh and Philly, which is great if you live there or near, but if ur from a bigger city, than its just a compromise on pay and location, which isn't great
