Pros

Good salary and bonus structure. Nice people, good culture and lots of opportunity for team bonding Good values which the company work closely to CSR activities are truly promoted

Cons

Managers have no people management training. There’s no process for reporting bad managers, senior leadership do not want to help and HR systems are not in place. Whilst I’ve been lucky to have very good managers who supported me at the beginning of my time at Barclaycard, since a restructure I’m left stuck with a challenging manager will very few options to rectify this.
