Intertek Benefits

Basic salary was (after threatening to leave !) very good and commensurate with industry standard. Bonus was very good and although stretch targets to achieve, well worth having when it was paid. For a company of the status of Intertek the pension was laughable (Aviva money purchase scheme - minimum mandatory possible) and maximum company contribution was very low - very poor incentive for long term loyalty. Private health was expensive and better off the shelf deals could be brought privately which was again disappointing, given the buying power of a FTSE100 company. DIS was as expected. Company cars offered pitiful choice and management company would cheap out on service and tyres at any opportunity. Salary and expenses paid regularly and on time (salary) Expenses system very clunky but ultimately worked well Annual leave was minimum UK standard and no long service based increase Although Bike 2 Work scheme offered, no other extra curricular commitment which was very poor given FTSE100 status, Understandable however given the fact that the company was a collection of acquisitions so HQ function and group procedures were basic and inadequate to the size of the operations below them
