Pros

You don't need previous experience to be hired for an entry position. Pay is not bad - £27k (per year) at the start for new hires. However, no money is worth this amount of stress. Great benefits (plenty of different insurance options such as life, critical illness, dental, travel insurance etc.)

Cons

Toxic work environment (FX Operations department) Work-life balance is non existent. No recognition for extra work/hours. Everything is your fault. Management doesn't take any responsibility for mistakes they made. High staff turnover - people leave because it's too much pressure and it's not worth the money. Sooner or later, this work will take a toll on your mental and physical well-being.

Pros

Benefits and time off are definitely a plus, very accommodating.

Cons

Great working environment, but you need to be co cern every year when cuts hit. They rate you average if they plan on cutting you and it seems like the cuts are based higher on the older employees that have many years with the company. Growth was non existing, every year it was senior managers are not allowing any promotions even to 2 rating employees for many years.
