Does Portafina have a pension plan?
Pros
Free parking. Birthday off. Christmas week off.
Cons
The training is terrible. They expect people to learn everything about pensions in 2 weeks and be confident to speak to clients. Salary is terrible for what they expect from you. They provide a poor service to clients that are after their pension and won't give answers to why their pensions are not being paid to them. You are treated poorly by very strict management and their rules. I would never recommend anyone to work for them or have their pensions with this company.
Advice to Management
Train your people better. Increase salary. Treat employees like adults and not children.
