Pros
There are some good people there that deserve recognition and do their best to support others/their teams. If you are an adviser the financial incentives can be very rewarding, less so in other roles. Reward packages are average - not terrible but not impressive. Lots of room for progression and career opportunities - tend to grow and promote from within. Allows business to use known green candidates on lower pay rates but equally allows candidates opportunities to explore new careers safely which is great for building a career or making a switch. Throw big end of year parties.
Cons
There have been good intentions with culture and policies but sadly not supported by good execution and consistency. Senior management team are no longer a cohesive, effective and trustworthy group. Support and values are shouted about but in reality are not provided to all who ask/need it. Backbiting and sniping from senior team, poor behaviours not kept behind closed doors, toxicity and workplace bullying seeping out. Work life balance is shocking in smaller teams without proper resourcing, lots of burnout, no recognition or reward for the hours worked such as pay for the constant extra hours or time back for the loss of personal time from time to time. Benefits have been quietly stripped back and devalued over the years. No value placed on longevity and loyalty.
