Avantages
-Good exposure into the operations of financial services, -Some top individuals working in different departments, -Great location - right in the city -Ex managers -Breakfast on Friday is the highlight of the week
Inconvénients
- Secretive, deceptive and robotic. Be prepared to work in doubt and minimal communication is key to keeping an 'on edge' environment. Upper management will not actively communicate what is really happening. No transparency leading to fear of job loss - False promises. This ranges from commissions, career progression to general leadership & micromanagement. - No structure or culture. It feels like the blind leading the blind, where you must work without any satisfaction or recognition. Favoring silence over interaction between colleagues. Depressing place to be if you are energetic / enthusiastic. - High staff turnover. Approximately 1 person has left every 2/3 weeks (rightly or wrongly). Employees are exploited for their skills and not rewarded or recognized. Consistent cuts to each department, leaving minimal staff who are overworked. - No positive performance reviews only negative - no pay increase or salary reviews. - Confusion between start up/ big business
