What makes Citi a great place to work?
I believe people and a firm's culture are very important in one's decision to work at a certain company. I think I would say that what makes Citi really unique is its diversity and the ability for employees to collaborate and innovate. Our leadership is exceptional and the connection with all employees in the organization across levels is something we admire. We have 200 years of legacy, experience, and brand value that no other company can offer.

This is clearly visible in our mission to “serve as a trusted partner to our clients by responsibly providing financial services that enable growth and economic progress” and how all employees are aligned to this.
How did you begin a career in customer service?
I first started working in customer service in retail. I spent a lot of time helping people find things and answering questions about products. I learned early on that sometimes people don’t know what they need, so it’s important to ask questions and get to know your customer a little.
What does your day-to-day job entail and what do you like most about it?
My day is spent reviewing disputes with our card members and helping them understand the current status of their dispute. Educating our card members about their disputes is very important, as it’s a confusing process. I like the challenge that is presented. Every call is different and finding the solution can sometimes be more complicated than it appears.
What do you enjoy most about your role?
Every call, even calls about the same kinds of disputes, can be different. This can keep the calls fresh and prevent you from settling into a boring humdrum of repetition. The people that I work side-by-side with are great.
What skill set does someone working in this kind of area need?
Patience and empathy. A lot of calls are from people who don’t understand the process and want to know why a charge was put back on their account. We have to take the time to understand their point of view and educate them on the best path to take to move the dispute forward.
What advice would you give to someone looking to break into a career in customer service?
Don’t take things personally. You’re going to occasionally get a call where someone is mad and they are yelling. These people are mad at a situation, not at you. Also, if you don’t know the answer, take the time to ask someone.

Citi is full of opportunities! There are many different departments and various opportunities to move up. Work hard and stick with it and you can achieve any kind of goal.

The environment at Citi is great. There’s a certain solidarity in Citi amongst everyone. Also, hard work pays off and is recognized.
What is the culture like at Citi?
Citi cultivates a culture of oneness and respect. I can talk to anyone from anywhere in the country in Citi and get the sense that we’re on the same team. I’ve seen this company bend over backwards to go out of its way to help its employees and accommodate them. There’s a very real sense that Citi cares.
