RecommendsPositive OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Nationwide Building Society full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Pay if you negotiate, progression if you try hard enough, work life balance brilliant, great managers,great colleagues. Great perks such as private healthcare, bonuses, pay reviews, childcare vouchers
Cons
Joe Garner. He does not fit with our culture and is slowly killing off a lot of what we do (apart from mortgages which is thriving - at the moment!)
Advice to Management
Get rid of a big bank ex boss - we don't need his "reduce people's job profile to the bare minimum so they get bored and leave and we don't have to make them redundant" attitude
