Pros

Pay, commission structure and some recognition every other quarter.

Cons

EMployee relations with management, no understanding, too much work for next to no benefit. They reward complacency and laziness with extended stays.

Good people to work with; management is supportive to help you move around

Poor promotion of learning; little to no employee perks; opportunities to move around are available but it is not advertised and you have to spend a lot of effort to look for it

Pros

Flexible working in some teams Great office - 1 Churchill Place Go in at the right level and it's a good place to work - you can progress Graduate scheme people are well thought of in industry

Cons

Lack of growth - Retail Bank is stagnant - and its all about managing a portfolio - no NPD ITS ALL ABOUT REPORTING - decks, decks, decks, MI, MI, MI, (yawn) Lack of proffesional people there- too many people who have worked their way up to a B6 level with no ideas, no passion and are just corporate bods A lot of Americans - by this I mean Americans are brought over on huge relocation packages at B7 level - why not internally develop/promote
